Christie conditionally vetoes bills concerning pet euthanization and human life-sustaining treatment
Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday conditionally vetoed bills concerning pet euthanization and the use of Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment forms in New Jersey. He also signed legislation codifying income eligibility levels for the AIDS Drug Distribution Program (ADDP).
Christie conditionally vetoed bill (S-2923), citing the need to maintain a seven day hold period before dogs and cats received by animal shelters can be offered for adoption, transferred, or euthanized in New Jersey. Under existing law, any animal captured by an animal control officer must be held for seven days before it can be offered for adoption, transferred to a more suitable shelter, or euthanized.
