‘Reba’s Law’ Update: Nevada Governor signs bill to strengthen animal cruelty penalties
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has signed a bill set to increase penalties against animal cruelty known as “Reba’s law”, according to Assemblymember Melissa Hardy.
‘Reba’s Law’ will strengthen animal cruelty penalties against those who commit these crimes.
The bill is named after Reba the bulldog who was found trapped in a bin on a hot day last summer behind a grocery store near UNLV.
As the bill moved through the legislature it was killed out of the process but then quickly brought back to life.
