Person who sells emotional support dogs required to provide notice that the dog is not a service dog, and criminal penalties for misrepresenting service animals increased.

Summary

The bill requires anyone who sells an emotional support dog to give the buyer a written notice that the dog is not a service dog and does not have the legal rights of a service dog. It also raises the criminal penalty for falsely claiming a dog is a service animal, making a second offense a gross misdemeanor. The goal is to reduce confusion for the public and protect the credibility of service‑animal laws.
