The New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association (NJVMA) believes advocacy is crucial to maintaining a profession dedicated to preserving the welfare of all animals. Having a voice in legislative affairs is essential to all veterinarians who practice veterinary medicine in New Jersey. NJVMA provides that voice through its legislative committee.

In 2023, the NJVMA Legislative Committee and its consultants monitored 42 bills that could affect the profession. Some of these bills arise from a single negative interaction, and a veterinarian is often not consulted before the bills are presented.
