Hello, all.
An act that would make it a crime to harass or interfere with a guide or assistance dog, or such a dog's handler, has been introduced in the General Assembly. It is Raised H. B. 7214. A public hearing has been held on the act, and it is with the Joint Judiciary Committee, who will schedule a meeting to review it.
At this point, it is important to contact our representatives in Hartford and urge them to support Raised H. B. 7214. This is especially important if your representative or senator is a member of the Judiciary Committee.
A link to information about the act is below.
