[Oagdu] Ohio service animal legislation

[Marion Gwizdala]

Marianne,

	Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to look at the proposed
legislation; however, the ADA uses the term "handler", as some service dogs
have a handler that is different from the disabled person/user. Also, since
I have not seen what is being proposed, would you please send it to us again
so I can have a shot at it, too? Thanks a bunch!

Marion

Good morning people and pooches. Barbara Pearce has looked at our proposed
legislation and had one major suggestion for change.  Some of the wording
uses the term "owner" but since many service animal schools do not grant
ownership upon graduation, she recommends we change the term to "user" or
"handler."  Please provide your thoughts on this change in wording.  This is
not a discussion on ownership but a discussion on changing the wording as we
go forward.
