ADA Service Animals Regulations

New ADA regulations effective March 15, 2011
Service Animals-Dogs Only

March 15, 2011 - ADA rules governing Service Animales were changed---as an effort to help our members understand changes to Service Animal rules we are offering this information to help businesses accomodate disabled persones who use a service dog---the forgoing examples are not intended to be a legal interpretation of ADA and Cal. Access Laws and should only be used as a guide---questions should be directed to an attorney versed in ADA law.

1. Service animals are now limited to dogs (or in rare instances, miniature horses). No more service cats, monkeys, etc.

2. If it is not obvious what service a service dog provides (a dog guiding a blind person would be obvious), staff may ask the following only: (i) “Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?”; and (ii) “What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?” This language is directly from the statute, so it would be wise to use it verbatim. Nothing else can be asked, especially anything regarding the nature of or extent of the person’s disability. In addition, no certification, etc. can be requested about the dog itself.

3. The service dog can be required to be on a leash unless the handler is unable to use the leash due to the disability or it would interfere with the dog’s services. However, the dog must remain under the handler’s control regardless.If a dog was sitting in a chair at a table, it could be appropriate to ask the dog owner if it was necessary for the dog to sit in the chair to perform its disability assistance duties, even give an explination of what those tasks are.

4. Cannot charge extra for the service animal, or make it and/or the handler sit in a defined location. However, the handler is responsible for all damage the dog causes, and the dog can be excluded but only if it displays vicious behavior or is not housebroken. The dog actually has to exhibit the behavior to be excluded (i.e. no excluding all pit bulls just because most are mean). Also, allergies, other’s fear of dogs, etc. is not a valid reason for exclusion. If an animal is excluded, the location should offer the handler opportunity to obtain goods/services without the animal present. In addition, the location has no responsibility for the dog’s care (i.e. don’t need to give it food, water, etc.).

5. Restaurants need to admit service animals to all areas the public would be admitted even if the health department or health code prohibits animals.

Authority: Civil Code § 54, et seq.; 28 C.F.R. §§ 36.104, 36.302.

USAgain (use-again) is a green for-profit enterprise that collects used clothes and resells them worldwide to conserve precious natural resources and greenhouse gases. USAgain was founded in 1999, and operates over 10,000 collection bins in 15 states. Our mission at USAgain is to provide consumers with a convenient and eco-friendly option to rid themselves of excess clothing, which we divert from being trashed in the landfills to be reworn, reused and recycled here in the US and abroad. In 2010 alone, the company collected 56 million pounds of discarded clothing.

Our process is simple. We place collection bin(s) in the unused area of parking lot of shopping malls, city and community recycling centers, schools and churches where people can drop off their unwanted clothes anytime of the day, any day of the year. At lease once a week our trucks collect the items and bring them to our area warehouse where they are sorted, bundled, and shipped to wholesalers, graders and thrift stores to use be reused or recycled.
