[nagdu] Emotional Support Dog Article

[Marion Gwizdala]

Cheryl,
    The ADA applies to specific circumstances, e.g., employment (Title I), 
public (governmental) entities (Title II), private entities that provide 
public accommodations (TitleIII), and telecommunications (Title IV). The ADA 
is enforced by the Department of Justice and the Federal Transit Authority 
if the discrimination involves transportation services other than air 
carriers. The Fair Housing Act applies to housing accommodations and is 
under the jurisdiction of the Federal Housing Authority. HTH!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
