Dont applaud just yet. From the article: To reiterate, although VA is not bound by the ADA, VA is not prevented from adopting standards similar to those in the ADA when appropriate and applicable. Because there is no existing definition of “service animal” in any law or regulation that is applicable to VA, we find the definition in 28 CFR 36.104 the most relevant source for consideration of the issue of service animal presence on VA property, other than those service dogs VA recognizes under § 17.148. The VA is actually going to impose for the rules that will actually restrict the number of dogs they can come into the VA. Talk to him independent trainers, dogs not ADI trainer trained, dogs that are not gifted to the handler and others will not be allowed in the facility. This is the second VA news release that gives those of us with service dogs false hope. I am one of the lucky ones. My dog qualifies in every aspect. Dozens of people I know will be negatively affected by this. This is the second time the VA has put out a news release chock-full of miss information so that we all think theyre doing something good for veterans and service dogs. Reality is they are not.
