Source: Animal Law Legal Center
Title II and Title III of the ADA give people with disabilities the right to use service animals (dogs and miniature horses) in public places. A number of states also have laws that cover service animals. These laws may expand the definition of a service animal for that state or cover areas that are not addressed by the ADA, such as fraudulent use or harming an individual with a disability’s service animal.- Table of State Assistance Animal Laws
