[NFB-Idaho] Draft Legislation

[Dana Ard]

I needed to have the time to thoroughly read and understand the proposed
legislation. This looks good to me. My only questions are why a person
without a disability training a service dog has to display a card? How do we
handle individuals, who may be private trainers, training service dogs? I do
know of such cases. Also, this may sound obvious but, how do we define
housebroken? If a dog in training has an accident due to some cause, like
food that didn't agree etc. is the dog considered to not be house broken?
Why is the training organization, rather than the individual, liable for
damages? We still don't have an entity that will be the authority on crimes
against guide dogs. This may be too sticky to get into in this legislation.
I think this proposed legislation is clear and well written.
