On the Hill 2026: "Biscuit's Bill"

Over the years, you've probably heard stories here on KSL NewsRadio of animal abuse. But in instances where the abuse happens and the animal doesn't die, what happens to that animal after their owner is arrested and charged? In many cases, those animals face euthanization or years of sitting alone in a shelter.

State Represenative Verona Mauga proposes a change to that; House Bill 87, affectionately known as "Biscuit's Bill." She joins Maria Shilaos to detail the need for this bill and how it would help pets who find themselves in these situations. She also explains who Biscuit is, and why she matters to this issue.
