[NAGDU] HB2992

[Jessica N. Naert]

Some of us have discussed this a little bit before. On Monday in Texas, HB 2992 is going to committee to be discussed. Victoria Neave's office authored this bill. Here is what it hopes to accomplish:

Would provide that a person commits a misdemeanor offense when they falsely represent their animal as a service animal in order to gain access, permission, or benefits reserved for people with disabilities who use service animals. False representation would occur when a person fits an animal with a harness, collar, vest, sign, tag, or leash of the type commonly used by service animals when the animal has not in fact been specially trained.

For the actual language of the bill:
