The bill is commonly referred to as “Nitro’s Law.”   House Bill 90 makes specific prohibitions against negligently and knowingly committing acts of cruelty against companion animals, including dogs and cats. Specifically, the bill grants a prosecutor discretion to charge and prosecute an owner, manager or employee of a kennel who engages in knowingly cruel treatment with either a first-degree misdemeanor or a fifth-degree felony. A fifth-degree felony charge for abuse could garner a prison sentence of up to 12 months per offense.   “Man is distinguishable from other animals by our ability to reason, and there is no reason we should allow the abuse of animals,” Rep. Henne said.
