MONTANA FAKE SERVICE DOG/ HB439 is the law!

For all of us, we should choose to obey and respect the Montana service dog law HB 439 was signed into law by Governor Bullock. We are proud to be a part of creating change that protects individuals with disabilities, including those with hidden injuries or illnesses. This change updates 49-4-214, MCA. The change aligns with American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) and creates a misdemeanor component for individuals who misrepresent an untrained dog as a service animal. There is a fine, for determent, to help eliminate untrained dogs disguised as service dogs everywhere.
