A 3151 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns training of employees about access to public facilities for individuals with service or guide dogs.

This bill requires employers in public places (like restaurants, stores, or venues) to train staff about the rights of people with disabilities to bring service or guide dogs. It mandates that employers provide training based on a pamphlet created by the Labor Commissioner, covering state and federal laws (including the ADA) regarding access to public facilities. Employers must distribute a printed copy of the pamphlet to each employee and have them sign an acknowledgment form confirming they received it. The training can be completed using free resources from state agencies or self-developed programs, and the pamphlet will be available online for public access.
