New Jersey S573 amends the "Law Against Discrimination" to grant volunteers raising service or guide dogs access to public facilities.
New Jersey S573 amends the "Law Against Discrimination" to ensure that volunteers raising service or guide dogs have the same rights and privileges as persons with disabilities when accessing public facilities. This includes the requirement that the dog wear a collar, leash, or other identifying device and be under the control of the volunteer. The volunteer must also have credentials from an accredited program available for inspection. This change aims to provide equal access for those involved in the early training stages of service and guide dogs.
