SB 390 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Civil procedure: civil actions; remedies for harm, injury, or death of a service animal; provide for. Amends 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.101 - 600.9947) by adding sec. 2980.

SB 390 creates a legal remedy for owners or handlers of service animals injured or killed due to another person's actions. It allows them to seek financial compensation for economic losses, including the animal's value, care costs (like vet bills and retraining), replacement expenses, and lost earnings. The law applies whether the harm was intentional, reckless, or accidental, and permits punitive damages for intentional or reckless conduct. It does not replace other existing legal options for service animal owners under Michigan law.
