Wed Nov 3 19:44:51 UTC 2010

Did you know that if you attended a California school to get your guide dog, the school is required to report your name and address, private information, to the California State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind?  See the California Code of Regulations section below.

§ 2278. Names and Addresses of Students.

Schools shall provide the board with a list of all students enrolled, and also with the names and addresses of all students graduated.

Subject: Names and addresses of guide dog users

Shannon:

I understand there is a question regarding whether licensed schools are required to provide the State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind the names and addresses of guide dog students.  Below is the current law (Business and Professions Code section 7210.7 and the amended 7210.7 via SB 1491 effective January 1, 2011).  Also, I have provided below the current regulatory section requiring licensed schools to provide the names and addresses of all students graduated.  I hope this is helpful.

Business and Professions Code section 7210.7 - Current Law
7210.7.  The board may authorize schools licensed by the board or instructors employed by those schools to provide home training in the use of guide dogs.  If a school desires to provide home training in the use of guide dogs, it shall apply to the board and provide the board with a written plan and procedure for conducting that home training, which shall be approved by the board prior to conducting any home training.  Schools providing home training in the use of guide dogs shall, annually, provide the board with the names and addresses of those persons who are receiving home training and shall include those persons who have received home training from the school subsequent to the last report filed with the board.  The guide dog user, as a condition of receiving home training, shall have completed a formal in-residence training program from a school licensed by the board to provide guide dog training, or from a school recognized by another state to provide guide dog training.  The requirement for a formal in-residence training program from a
school licensed by the board may be waived by the school when that requirement imposes an undue hardship on the guide dog user.  Home training, as provided in this section, shall consist of not less than 20 hours of training.  This section shall only apply to those schools that are licensed by the board to furnish guide dogs and to train persons to use guide dogs, who desire to provide home training in the use of guide dogs, and who apply to the board for approval to provide that home training.
 Business and Professions Code section 7210.7 as amended by SB 1491 – effective January 1, 20117210.7.  Schools and instructors licensed by the board may provide home training in the use of guide dogs.  Schools and instructors providing home training in the use of guide dogs shall, annually, provide the board with the names and addresses of those persons who are receiving home training and shall include those persons who have received home training from the school or instructor subsequent to the last report filed with the board.
