What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, an owner of a dog is not required to pay an annual dog license

fee if the dog is trained to provide specific physical or therapeutic functions under the

control of a handler or if a medical professional has determined that the dog provides

a benefit to a person with a disability. Under current law, only dogs that are trained

to lead blind or deaf persons or to provide support for mobility-impaired persons are

exempt from annual dog license fees.
