                                BILL NUMBER:S5495B

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the executive law, the civil rights law, the agriculture and
markets law, the transportation law and the public housing law, in
relation to service animals, guide dogs, hearing dogs or service dogs;
and to repeal certain provisions of the executive law relating thereto

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this bill is to update and provide clarity to
state laws regarding people with disabilities and service animals.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This bill would amend the Human Rights Law to define the term "hearing
dog" or "service dog" shall have the same meaning as those terms are
defined in section forty-seven-b of the civil rights law.

"Service dog" means any dog under the control of the person using or
training it and that has been or is being individually trained to do
work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability.

The bill would also clarify that a person engaged in training a dog to
aid a person with a disability has the same rights and privileges as
outlined in the Civil Rights Law as possessed by a person with a

disability.

Furthermore, the requirements that guide dogs, hearing dogs, service
dogs, and therapy dogs be owned and/or trained by a qualified person
or dog training center would be removed and the requirement that such
dogs be "properly harnessed" would be amended so that they would only
have to be "under the control of" a person with a disability.

Finally, the requirement that a tenant who has a hearing dog must
provide documentation of his or her impairment would be removed.

JUSTIFICATION:
It is important to update and clarify
New York State
laws regarding service animals in order to reduce discrimination and
allow those with disabilities to better function in a least
restrictive environment. In addition, this bill brings New York State
into compliance with federal laws on this topic.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New Bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately
