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, and it is set to operate for a minimum of one year, with the possibility of extension based on funding and effectiveness. The DOH is required to submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature within one year of implementation, detailing the program's progress and making recommendations regarding its future.

Additionally, the bill grants the DOH the authority to select participating organizations, delegate program implementation, and coordinate with municipalities. It also includes provisions to protect donors and organizations involved in the distribution of pet food from liability related to the consumption of donated 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.
