"Chloe's Pet Access Law"; permits dogs in outdoor seating areas of restaurants under certain circumstances; codifies current requirements concerning live animals in food establishments.

S 1150, "Chloe's Pet Access Law," allows dogs in restaurant outdoor dining areas under specific conditions, directly affecting restaurant owners (who must opt-in) and dog owners. It requires separate pet entrances, prohibits dogs from touching furniture, mandates disposable food/water containers, and requires cleaning after contamination. The bill formalizes existing rules for animals in food establishments (like service animals in indoor areas) while adding new outdoor dining requirements. Key provisions include employee handwashing after accidental dog contact and strict sanitation protocols for outdoor spaces.
