ANIMALS: Provides relative to support and service animals
HB 407 amends the existing laws regarding support and service animals by updating specific section numbers from 1979 to 1978 and removing provisions related to immunities. These changes directly affect individuals who rely on support or service animals and the organizations that regulate them. The bill does not introduce new rules or definitions but instead modifies the legal citations and deletes a section on immunities within the current framework.
