Stopping Fake Fidos as Service dogs


"A final vote is expected on Friday on a bill that would punish owners of fake service dogs and protect those with invisible disabilities who use a service animal.

There was no debate when the Senate considered bill SB 414 this afternoon. The bill now mirrors its companion in the House, HB 71, which received a unanimous vote when it reached the House floor."
