<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Aren't distinctions drawn between Dog Guides and
service dogs. My interpretation of the law is that it places restrictions
on mere service dogs. Rather than Dog Guides. I don't think the
enacting of the law would restrict the use of Dog Guides any more than exists
now prior to the passing of the law.</FONT></DIV>

MAKES SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO RIGHTS OF PERSONS WHO USE SERVICE
ANIMALS<BR><BR>The following information is provided in order to share
information regarding legislation pending in the Arizona House of
Representatives that will impact the rights of persons with
disabilities.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Legislation that will significantly impact the
rights of persons with disabilities who utilize the assistance of a service
animal will be heard in the House Government and higher Education Committee at
9:00am tomorrow, Thursday February 19 in House hearing Room 1. This
legislation is an amendment to HB2179 and will make significant changes to
current state statutes regarding the rights of individuals with service
animals including:<BR><BR><BR><BR>·
Requiring that individuals who
use service animals obtain a permit from the Arizona Department of health
Services in order to take their service animal in to a public place and that
such permit be renewed on a regular basis.<BR><BR>·
As part of the permit process,
an individual will be required to apply to the Department of Health Services
and provide documentation from a medical professional certifying the applicant
has a disability.<BR><BR>·
Requiring that a service
animal wear a vest, also issued by the Department of Health Services at all
times when in a public place. This vest will display permit
information.<BR><BR>· Allows
restaurants to block access for persons with service animals in order to meet
local and or state health code regulations.<BR><BR>·
Requires the Department of
Health services to develop a sign for restaurants to display indicating that
service animals are not permitted and that a separate sign for other public
businesses not serving food be created that indicates service animals are
allowed.<BR><BR>· Requires the
Department of Health Services to petition the United States Department of
Justice requesting that the Americans with Disabilities Act be updated to
comply with state law.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Additionally, the following language is
included at the end of the amendment:<BR><BR><BR><BR>The legislature finds
that the Americans with disabilities act of 1990 may endanger the health and
safety of the public, place an undue burden on businesses and others and
conflict with state and local health codes. State and local health codes shall
supersede the Americans with disabilities act
of<BR><BR>1990."<BR><BR><BR><BR>I have attached the full text of the amendment
to HB2179 for your review. <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Larry Wanger, Executive
