>> 
>> This resolution proposes amendment to Michigan Compiled Lawes Chapter
>> 750.502c Person with disabilities or trainer led by guide, leader,

>> 
>> 
>> Whereas, Section 502 of Michigan Compiled Laws Chapter 750 requires that

>> 
>> 
>> Whereas, both of these requirements place an undue burden upon a blind

>> Whereas, the statute improperly infers that a blind person may be "lead"

>> 
>> 
>> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the National Federation of the Blind of
>> Michigan in convention assembled this 20th day of October, 2013 in the

>> creating negative inferences about blind or disabled persons who happen to
>> use service dogs; and
>> 
>> 
>> BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislative Committee of the NFBMI draft
>> such amendments and seek sponsors in the State House and Senate.
