>> Good morning everyone,
>>
>> We are continuing our work on AB 1865 regarding attacks on guide dogs.
>>
>> AB 1865 Title: Guide, signal, and service dogs: injury or death
>> Current Authors: Assemblymember Tom Lackey [R], Assemblymember Bill
>> quirk (D), Senator Scott D. Wiener (D)
>>
>> Summary of Bill:
>> Under existing law, it is an infraction or a misdemeanor for any
>> person to permit any dog that is owned, harbored, or controlled by him
>> or her to cause injury to, or the death of, any guide, signal, or
>> service dog, as defined, while the guide, signal, or service dog is in
>> discharge of its duties.
>>
>> This bill would delete, from both crimes, the requirement that the
>> guide, signal, or service dog be in discharge of its duties when the
>> injury or death occurs.
>>
>> Also, it would make these crimes applicable to the injury or death of
>> dogs that are enrolled in a training school or program for guide,
>> signal, or service dogs, as specified.
>>
>> The bill would require the defendant, convicted of either crime, to
>> also make restitution to the person for medical or medical-related
>> expenses, or for loss of wages or income, incurred by the person as a
>> direct result of the crime. The bill would authorize the disabled
>> person to apply for compensation from the California Victim
>> Compensation Board and would authorize the board to pay compensation
>> for medical and medical-related expenses, and loss of wages or income
>> incurred by the person with a disability as a direct result of a
>> violation of those criminal provisions, in an amount not to exceed
>> $10,000.
>>
>> Please review the list below. If your representative is on the list,
>> call them and let them know that you would like them to support and
>> co-author AB 1865.
>>
>> The names preceded by an asterisk are a priority to call.
