Service animal exception.

A. For purposes of this section:

1. The terms "place of public accommodation", "public

accommodation" and "service animal" shall have the same meaning as

such terms are defined in 28 C.F.R., Section 36.104. "Service

animal" does not include an emotional support animal or a therapy

animal;

2. "Emotional support animal" means an animal selected to

reside with an individual with a disability that does not work or

perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability and

does not accompany at all times an individual with a disability; and

3. "Therapy animal" means a personal pet who is certified to

make therapeutic visits with a trained volunteer to places

including, but not limited to, nursing facilities, schools and

hospitals to bring therapeutic benefit, comfort and cheer to others.

B. A public accommodation may adopt a policy to prohibit

animals, except service animals, from entering the place of public

accommodation.

C. A public accommodation which adopts such a policy shall post

a sign in a conspicuous location outside the entrance of the place

of public accommodation stating which animals or types of animals

are prohibited. Such sign shall also state that service animals are

permitted.

D. If a public accommodation inquires into the qualification of

a service animal, the public accommodation shall comply with 28

C.F.R., Section 36.302(c)(6).

E. Any person who is not an individual with a disability or is

not trained to assist individuals with disabilities, who uses a

service animal in an attempt to gain treatment or benefits as an

individual with a disability shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a

misdemeanor.

F. No person shall knowingly present any animal or therapy

animal as a service animal or intentionally misrepresent entitlement

to an animal in his or her possession as a qualified service animal

for the purpose of obtaining any of the rights or privileges set

forth in state or federal law for an individual with a disability.

Any person who violates this subsection shall, upon conviction, be

guilty of a misdemeanor.
