Establishes reporting requirements for suspected animal cruelty and protections for those reporting.

The bill creates a new statute requiring veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and animal treatment provider employees to report suspected animal cruelty to law enforcement or animal control officers. It defines "animal cruelty" and "good faith report," and mandates that reports cannot include written medical records without a court order. The bill also provides immunity from liability, disciplinary action, and retaliation for those making good faith reports.
