SENATE BILL 1034  

SENATE AUTHOR: Moncrief

EFFECTIVE: 05-22-01         

HOUSE SPONSOR: Naishtat

State law provides that an animal in training to assist persons with disabilities cannot be denied admittance to any public facility when accompanied by an approved trainer or the animal's blind handler. Senate Bill 1034 amends the Human Resources Code to remove the word "blind" so the right to enter applies to any disabled person with an assistance animal.
