[nagdu] INDIANA SERVICE ANIMAL LEGISLATION

[Marion & Martin]

Susan,
    There is a serious issue with this bill. The definition of a service 
animal is very vague. It says a service animal is an animal that "is 
specially trained for that purpose". What does this mean? This is a 
rhetorical question. Someone may say that it means it is trained to perform 
some task that mitigates an individuals disability; however, the law does 
not state this.

Fraternally,
Marion Gwizdala
