'Reba's Law' makes it through Nevada Legislature before midnight deadline
Breaking overnight, Nevada lawmakers have passed Reba's Law, increasing penalties for animal cruelty and torture.

HAPPENING TODAY: Ex-owner of Vegas apartment where 6 died in fire faces sentencing
The former owner of the Alpine Motel Apartments is scheduled to learn his fate today, more than five years after the deadliest residential fire in Las Vegas history killed six people, injured 13 and left more than 50 displaced.
The December 2019 fire started when someone used their stove for heat inside the downtown Las Vegas complex located near 9th and Ogden.
Investigators say a bolted rear door and a malfunctioning fire alarm likely contributed to the high death toll.
Adolfo Orozco-Garcia originally faced 27 charges, but in January, he agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors on two counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of wanton disregard of safety.
