[Ginger Kutsch]

Washington State has adopted a new rule regarding service animals:

 

                New May 1! Service animals in food establishments will be
defined ONLY as a dog (or miniature horse).

For food establishments only, a service animal can only be a dog (or
miniature horse) that is individually trained to work or perform tasks for
an individual with a disability. Disabilities include physical, sensory,
psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability, as specified in RCW
49.60.218.

The previous rule was: 

 

(25) "Service animal" means an 

animal that is trained for  the purpose of assisting or 

accommodating a disabled person's sensory, mental, or physical disability.
