A 1894 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns training of employees about access to public facilities for individuals with service or guide dogs.

This New Jersey bill requires employers with employees serving customers in public places (like restaurants, stores, or hotels) to train staff about the rights of people with disabilities to bring service or guide dogs into those spaces. Employers must provide training using a pamphlet created by the Labor Commissioner, which outlines key topics based on state and federal disability laws (including the ADA). Employees must sign a form acknowledging they received and reviewed the pamphlet, which employers must keep for three years. The bill aims to prevent discrimination by ensuring staff understand and comply with access laws for service animals.
