[nagdu] Fw: [DogGuideUsersNH] Fw: service dog leashes

[Marion & Martin]

Ed,
    Though New hampshire law may require some specific identifying 
garments - as others require documentation - these laws are unenforceable as 
the ADA supersedes such statutes and categorically states that no form of 
identification may be required as a prerequisite for access.

Fraternally,
Marion
