An Act amending the act of October 24, 2018 (P.L.733, No.118), known as the Assistance and Service Animal Integrity Act, further providing for definitions; establishing the trained service dog card; providing for the documentation of service dogs and for admittance of registered service dog to public accommodations; establishing a trained service dog card database; providing for immunity from liability; providing for the offense of fraudulent misrepresentation of a service dog; and making editorial changes.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's existing Assistance and Service Animal Integrity Act to create a formal identification system for trained service dogs. It requires these dogs to wear a specific card issued by the Department of Health and mandates the creation of a state database to track registered animals. The legislation allows public accommodations to verify a dog's status through this card while also establishing a new crime for fraudulently misrepresenting a pet as a service dog. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to protect individuals from liability when acting in good faith to enforce these new identification rules.
