| May 17, 2025 1:33 PM

MOSES LAKE — On this episode of the STUDIO BASIN Podcast, Reporter Nance Beston discussed some of the recent bills that Gov. Bob Ferguson signed into law and one bill that died in the legislature. The two bills both regard animal rights and safety. House Bill 1046 allows people to break into vehicles with pets or vulnerable persons locked in them without civil liability. House Bill 1149 increased the penalties for cruelty to animals and animal fighting. Then, Senate Bill 5098 died in the legislature. The bill would have prevented people from having firearms in public places where children could be present, including the Grant County Fairgrounds.
