SF 1317 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Service dog provisions modification in housing accommodations for persons with disabilities

This bill modifies Minnesota's housing law to extend full housing access rights to people training service dogs. It defines a "service dog in training" as a dog being trained by an accredited organization (like Assistance Dogs International) under supervision. The law requires landlords and homeowners associations to allow these dogs without charging extra fees, though trainers must provide written certification from the training organization and cover damage caused by the dog. The accommodation ends once the training is complete. This directly affects disabled individuals training service dogs and housing providers.
