AB 1518 California Assembly · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Service dogs.

Summary
Existing law contains various provisions relating to guide dog instruction and requires a guide dog school to annually submit a list of all trainers or guide dog instructors employed or contracted by the school to the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law prohibits the department from charging a fee for the collection of this data. This bill would require the department, on or before September 10, 2025, to inform places of business, through an educational campaign throughout the state, of the problems faced by qualified service dog users, as provided. The bill would define the term "service dog" for these purposes. The bill would authorize the department to solicit donations from private sources, including service dog schools, to support this campaign.
