New Jersey S600 allows dog owners to obtain identification cards for guide or service dogs, with no fee, and appropriates $100,000 for implementation.

New Jersey S600 amends existing law to allow dog owners to procure identification cards for guide or service dogs at no cost. The Department of Health will develop these cards and make them available to municipal clerks or designated officials. Owners can apply for these cards when obtaining or renewing their dog's license and registration tag. The bill also stipulates that these identification cards do not expire and must be accepted by all municipalities as proof of the dog's training.
