Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services
|
28 CFR Part 35
|
The Department of Justice issued this final rule in order to adopt enforceable accessibility standards under the ADA to update or amend certain provisions of the title II regulation so that they comport with the Department´s legal and practical experiences in enforcing the ADA since 1991. In clarifying questions about service animals under the revised rule, the Department provided this about the breed of the animal: "The Department does not believe that it is either appropriate or consistent with the ADA to defer to local laws that prohibit certain breeds of dogs based on local concerns that these breeds may have a history of unprovoked aggression or attacks. Such deference would have the effect of limiting the rights of persons with disabilities under the ADA who use certain service animals based on where they live rather than on whether the use of a particular animal poses a direct threat to the health and safety of others . . ."

US - Guidance Concerning the Carriage of Service Animals in Air Transportation Into the United Kingdom
|
72 FR 8268-01
|
This notice publishes guidance concerning the carriage of service animals in air transportation from the United States (U.S.) to the United Kingdom (U.K.). These guidelines address the differences between U.K. laws regulating the transport of service animals on flights into the U.K. and U.S. law with respect to the carriage of service animals in air transportation. U.K. laws affecting the transport of service animals in air travel differ significantly from the requirements of the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), 49 U.S.C. 41705, and its implementing regulation in 14 CFR Part 382, resulting in uncertainty for carriers and persons with disabilities about the requirements that apply on flights into or transiting the U.K.
