11:18Now PlayingThe Senate gave its unanimous approval Thursday, April 19, to a bill that would prohibit Minnesotans from passing off their pets as service animals. Additionally, the measure authorizes the Minnesota Council on Disability to prepare a brochure detailing permissible questions for property and business owners to ask in determining whether an animal meets ADA guidelines and establishes criteria by which immunity for injury or damages is allowable.
The bill's author, Senator Justin Eichron, R-Grand Rapids, said "Fake service animals pose significant safety risks to legitimate service animals, customers and businesses."
Senator Ann Rest, DFL-New Hope, co-author of the measure, said "I think it's going to be a deterrent for people who take their pets places that are inappropriate... Not only will it be inappropriate, it will be clearly illegal."
