March 3, 2023: NBCBoston: Bill Proposes Stricter Animal Abuse Laws in Mass.
“Most people don’t realize that currently in our laws, only people who have been convicted of sexual abuse are banned from having possession or coming into contact with animals,” State Rep. Tram Nguyen said. “So this bill will fill that gap.” State Representatives Nguyen, Vanna Howard and Sen. Mike Moore sponsored legislation to ensure that anyone convicted of animal abuse can’t own a pet for at least five years, and for subsequent offenders, at least 15 years.
