Overview
This bill amends New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination to grant individuals raising guide or service dogs for training the same public access rights as people with disabilities. Specifically, it requires trainers and volunteers involved in the training process to wear identification, keep their dogs on a leash, and have proof of participation in an accredited training program. This ensures that individuals involved in the early stages of service dog development have equal access to public spaces.
