New Service Animal Act to Support Veterans

Some veterans in Wyoming, especially vets with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) find it difficult to travel with their service dog. Unfortunately, getting the necessary paperwork required by airlines isn't that easy since the Veterans Affairs (VA) does not prescribe service animals. 

But here's good news:

Chairwoman Liz Cheney is highly supportive of veterans and had made an amazing announcement. This was what she said:

“I’m proud to introduce the Strengthening Support for Veterans with Service Animals Act to help make it easier for veterans with service-connected disabilities to fly with their service dog..."

With this new streamlined process, a veteran will simply need to present a VA-issued health card with the service-connected” disability designation. In addition, he must be able to provide a training certificate from a service animal organization that has been approved by the Secretary of Transportation.
