Bill > SB198

This bill establishes the third week of September as New Hampshire Service Dog Week, a commemorative period designed to recognize and celebrate the critical role service dogs play in supporting individuals with disabilities. The legislation requires the governor to officially proclaim this week each year, with the aim of highlighting the significant contributions of service dogs, honoring the trainers and caretakers who support these animals, and acknowledging the profound impact these dogs have on enhancing the independence, mobility, and overall quality of life for people with disabilities. The bill invites governments, communities, and residents of New Hampshire to observe the week through appropriate ceremonies and activities that recognize and appreciate the remarkable bond between service dogs and the individuals they serve. The act will take effect immediately upon its passage.
