![]() H.R.4 - FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018
115th Congress (2017-2018) https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-...8971E6F5A1E323 SEC. 446. HARMONIZATION OF SERVICE ANIMAL STANDARDS. (a) Rulemaking.—The Secretary of Transportation shall conduct a rulemaking proceeding— (1) to define the term “service animal” for purposes of air transportation; and (2) to develop minimum standards for what is required for service and emotional support animals carried in aircraft cabins. (b) Considerations.—In conducting the rulemaking under subsection (a), the Secretary shall consider, at a minimum— (1) whether to align the definition of “service animal” with the definition of that term in regulations of the Department of Justice implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101–336); (2) reasonable measures to ensure pets are not claimed as service animals, such as— (A) whether to require photo identification for a service animal identifying the type of animal, the breed of animal, and the service the animal provides to the passenger; (B) whether to require documentation indicating whether or not a service animal was trained by the owner or an approved training organization; (C) whether to require, from a licensed physician, documentation indicating the mitigating task or tasks a service animal provides to its owner; and (D) whether to allow a passenger to be accompanied by more than 1 service animal; (3) reasonable measures to ensure the safety of all passengers, such as— (A) whether to require health and vaccination records for a service animal; and (B) whether to require third-party proof of behavioral training for a service animal; (4) the impact additional requirements on service animals could have on access to air transportation for passengers with disabilities; and (5) if impacts on access to air transportation for passengers with disabilities are found, ways to eliminate or mitigate those impacts. (c) Final Rule.—Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue a final rule pursuant to the rulemaking conducted under this section.

![]() (B) whether to require third-party proof of behavioral training for a service animal;
The AVMA was consulted on wording by the airline industry and we may never see this component enacted as no one can predict absolutes on the behavior of an animal with so many variables in play. You can give a passing grade certification but no one will sign their name to assurance of infallible behavior in an animal. The liability is too great and people do stupid things on their own much less add an animal to the equation. Last edited by ajc; 07-24-2019 at 05:37 PM. |

From the Forbes article: "The airlines’ solution would have DOT bring its service animals rules into line with those of the Department of Justice (DOJ), which apply to places of public accommodation throughout the U.S., including stores, hotels, stadiums, airports, and other modes of transportation (e.g., buses and trains). DOJ’s regulations (unlike DOT’s) do not require accommodation of ESAs, precisely because these animals are not trained to perform any task to assist an individual with a disability or behave appropriately in a public setting. This would remedy the current conflict between individuals having no right to bring an ESA into an airport terminal, bus or train, but having a DOT-conferred right to bring such animals into an aircraft cabin – a place of public accommodation that is particularly unsuited for untrained animals. An aircraft cabin is a confined space in which people and baggage (and increasingly also animals) are transported in close proximity to one another for hours at a time in a metal tube that tips and sways while moving at hundreds of miles per hour, with no ability to remove a misbehaving or dangerous animal from the cabin once an aircraft is in flight. The airlines’ proposal would fix this problem by bringing DOT’s air travel rules into line with DOJ’s generally applicable rules. DOT should implement this solution." Quote:
That is different from "medically necessary" and a disability that is covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act-Amended (ADAA).

And this is not the situation that is medically necessary.

![]() IMO, the dogs who go through years of training and tens of thousands of dollars to do so should be entitled to a card that certifies they are a service animal. These animals should be the only ones allowed public accommodation. Simple as that.

I do agree with you though. Unless an area says "pets allowed" they are the only animals that should be allowed in public.
