The New Jersey Senate and Assembly decided today to hold the bills banning retail pet stores and potentially impacting home-based breeders, meaning there will not be a vote before the end of the year.
AKC thanks all who have taken the time to contact their lawmakers regarding Assembly Bill 4051 and Senate Bill 2511.
Neither chamber will be considering legislation again until January 2026, and AKC Government Relations (AKC GR) will continue to monitor these and all bills impacting New Jersey dog owners. For questions or more information, contact AKC GR at doglaw@akc.org.
