The proposed law, from what I read is silent on training. Current Michigan access laws require a trainer to be registered with the state, IIRC, however once a Service Dog is trained and working the Owner Trainer is protected by the ADA. 

Yours, Very Sincerely And Respectfully,

Wayne M. Scace

What happens to the folks who train their own dogs?
just doesn't seem respectful.
