The Bring Animals Relief and Kibble Act protects individuals, nonprofits, and government agencies from lawsuits when they donate pet food and supplies in good faith, even if those items are outdated, slightly damaged, or don't meet all quality standards—as long as the products are still safe. The law covers donations to animal shelters, rescues, and other nonprofits that distribute pet supplies to dogs, cats, and other pets, including service and emotional support animals. The liability protection does not apply if someone acts with gross negligence or intentional misconduct, and donors must disclose when food or supplies are defective so organizations can fix them before distribution. This bill aims to encourage the donation of excess pet products rather than throwing them away while ensuring animal safety and not overriding existing state and local health rules. No specific funding or timeline is included in the legislation.
