Subject: Justice Department Files Statement of Interest regarding Title II Service Animal Regulation


The Department of Justice filed a Statement of Interest today in Alboniga v. School Board of Broward County, Florida, No. 14-60085 (S. D. Fla.),  to clarify that the Department's title II regulation generally requires public entities, such as schools, to permit individuals with disabilities to use their service animals, subject to specific exceptions. This regulatory framework furthers Congress's intent to honor individuals' choices to be accompanied by their service animals whereever feasible and to respect such individuals' autonomy and self-determination.
