[Blindtlk] [Chapter-presidents] Minnesota Law?

[David Evans]

Dear Marion,

Any such law, passed by the State, would be unconstitutional as the ADA, a Federal Law and a Civil Rights Law at that, will always supersede the State or local law.  Religious bias not with standing.
AdA is very clear as to where a guide dog can and can not go and under what circumstances.

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.

  Dear Fellow Federationists,
      I heard a rumor that the Mineesota legislature was considering a measure that would allow business owners to refuse access to service dogs on religious principles. If anyone has information concerning this, please send me a message off-list to

  President at NAGDU.ORG

  Fraternally yours,
