| Discussion This is a proposed new policy. There are currently a number of policies that mention animals on district property. The passage of this proposed new policy is in compliance with HB 71 in order to comply with F.S. 413.08 (titled, “Rights and responsibilities of an individual with a disability; use of a service animal; prohibited discrimination in public employment, public accommodations, and housing accommodations; penalties.”). The proposed new policy includes a definition of service animal, clarifies that service animals can be removed if their behavior poses a direct threat to the health and safety of others, and specifies that trainers of service animals are liable for damages. The proposed new policy reflect the requirements set forth in current State and Federal law.
