[blindlaw] FW: Justice Department Files Statement of Interest regarding Title II Service Animal Regulation

[Anita Keith-Foust]

This is really good news. Recently, I thought about getting a service dog,
but after reading about the UBER and other cab services that started
hassling people with service animals, I decided that I did not want to add
another thing to my list of challenges. 

I am exhausted with the fights that I am in already. So, I am postponing
getting the dog. It is hard to get laws on the books to help people, and
then, it is hard to get people to follow the law.

Thank you for the update.

Subject: Justice Department Files Statement of Interest regarding Title II
Service Animal Regulation


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.
