AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the access rights of service animal trainers in Massachusetts. It amends the state's existing law to explicitly grant blind, deaf, or physically disabled individuals accompanied by a service dog, as well as persons engaged in the training of service dogs, the same accommodations, advantages, and privileges as those available to the general public. The bill also extends these access rights to employees and volunteers of service animal training organizations when they are accompanied by a service dog they are training. Violations of these provisions can result in fines and civil damages.
