While Florida already runs a similar registry, this bill would incentivize all states to adopt it via DOJ grants, giving shelters and police better tools to catch dangerous criminals. Advocates are pushing for more detailed info like photos and birthdates, though that’s still up for debate. The bill’s currently under review in the House Judiciary Committee—with hopes it’ll pass and finally protect animals nationwide.
