erin coleman: good morning, i'm erin coleman for "nbc 10 @issue." we begin with a law that will soon take effect in pennsylvania. it's new legislation aimed at putting some bite into animal cruelty laws. pennsylvania governor tom wolf signed that bill into law last month. part of it is named in honor of libre, who was with the governor at the signing ceremony. the boston terrier was just a puppy when he was rescued from a lancaster county breeder who had severely neglected him. here's how libre looked at the time. veterinarians said he was just hours away from death. the 7-week-old puppy was starving, dehydrated, and infested with maggots. the new bill forces owners who've been convicted of abuse to give up their animals. it also adds protections for animal advocates who report cruelty, and increases safeguards for horses. the measures will take effect at the end of august. and with me now is the bill sponsor, state representative todd stevens. representative stephens serves parts of montgomery county. thanks for being with us here today. todd steph
