The Department of Justice filed a Statement of Interest today in Alboniga v.
School Board of Broward County, Florida, No. 14-60085 (S. D. Fla.),  to
clarify that the Department's title II regulation generally requires public
entities, such as schools, to permit individuals with disabilities to use
their service animals, subject to specific exceptions. This regulatory
framework furthers Congress's intent to honor individuals' choices to be
accompanied by their service animals whereever feasible and to respect such
individuals' autonomy and self-determination.
