>> effect updating Michigan's rules on service animals.

>> The state's Department of Civil Rights held a news conference in Grand

>> "It's going to be so much easier not only to have your service animal

>> The law also stiffens penalties for people who falsely say their pet

>> It takes effect on Monday.
