Allows service animals and non-service pet animals on mass transit in Hawaii with certain restrictions.
This bill amends Hawaii law to allow service animals on mass transit at all times, while permitting non-service pet animals during specific hours. Non-service pets can ride during peak hours if they are in an enclosed carrier that does not obstruct aisles. During off-peak hours, larger dogs can ride if securely leashed and not occupying seats. Pet owners must ensure their animals are well-behaved and do not disturb other passengers. Transit personnel can restrict pet access during emergencies or safety concerns, and pet owners are liable for any damage or injury caused by their animals.
