North Dakota Bill Aims to Clarify the Title of Mini-Horses as Service Animals in their State

The current Americans with Disabilities Act define service animals as dogs trained to work and provide assistance for individuals with disabilities. Mini horses are also included in the list of service animals.

But there is a confusion in North Dakota on whether a miniature horse is allowed to enter private and public premises. If House Bill 1230 gets successfully passed, miniature horses in North Dakota will be clearly defined and added to the list of the federal regulation as service animals permitted to enter establishments.

Jenny BrodKorb, Executive Director of Service Dogs for America in Jud, N.D., wrote in a testimony saying, "Having North Dakota Century Code align with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) removes confusion as to which animals specifically can be considered for service animal work."
