After receiving numerous requests from veterans to waive license fees for service dogs, Rod Hill, the assistant city manager, told the council last November 10 about the problem. Now, veterans living at Chino Hills will not be required to pay license fees for guide dogs as the city develops a program with the Inland Valley Humane Society.
However, since emotional support, companion, and comfort animals aren’t listed under the Americans with Disabilities Act, their fees will not be waived. Ed Denzin, one of the residents of Chino Hills and founder of Service Animal Training also helped in making the fee waiving idea possible, He wrote a letter to the council last December. It said, “Other cities waive license fees for service dogs, and I figured it would be nice for Chino Hills to do the same.”
