Introduced
by
To make it a civil infraction subject to fines up to $2,000 for a health care provider to falsely certify that an individual has a need for an emotional support animal, for the purpose of allowing the individual to rent and bring an animal into property in which no pets are allowed. This is related to a 2015 law that requires the Department of Civil Rights to create an identification card, tag, and vest for a service animal (like a seeing-eye dog), which would permits bringing the animal into a rental unit or public accommodations where animals are not otherwise allowed.
