This bill establishes a Food Banks for Pets Pilot Program under the Department of Health (DOH) to provide food assistance for cats and dogs to pet owners facing financial difficulties. The program will be implemented in collaboration with selected non-profit organizations and volunteer groups, operating for a minimum of one year, with the possibility of extension based on funding and effectiveness. The DOH is tasked with reporting to the Governor and Legislature within a year of implementation, detailing the program's progress and making recommendations on its future status.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the DOH in selecting participating organizations, delegating program implementation, and coordinating with municipalities. It also provides liability protections for donors and organizations involved in the program, ensuring they are not held responsible for damages related to the donated pet food. To support the program, the bill appropriates $1 million from the General Fund to the DOH for grants to selected organizations and other related expenses.
