[BlindTlk] Guide Dogs at Work and Insurance

[Sherry Gomes]

They cannot do this. The ADA says expressly that a person with a service dog
can't be charged extra, unless the dog causes some kind of damage. Then the
handler is responsible for paying the cost of those damages. Definitely
share this with NAGDU.

> My workplace just adopted a service animal policy. As part of that policy,
they are demanding that I provide a certificate of personal liability
insurance for my guide dog. I do not believe this is legal, and I have never
had aworkplace or other institution demand this. Can anyone confirm the
legality of this? (I should probably email NAGDU as well.)
