Difference b/w Service
Animal & ESA
Before discussing about new California law, it's important to know the difference between service animal & ESA.
A Service animal requires special training while ESA don't require it. Service animals can help their owner in tasks; therefore, they have more privileges as compared to Emotional support animals.
Emotional Support Animal
Laws California
Some people knowingly represent their ESA as a service animal to get the privileges of service animal. Therefore, new law is passed in California to stop these people. There are some guidelines in this law to be followed by ESA Suppliers, ESA Letter Providers and Mental healthcare experts.
Guidelines in First
SectionIt is necessary for a supplier that provides dogs as emotional support animal to add a note containing following: The dog is untrained and so unfit to serve as a service, guide, or signal dog. The advantages provided to a guide, signal, or service dog cannot be enjoyed by the dog.
Guidelines in Second
SectionThe people or organizations that issue emotional support animal certifications, IDs, tags, vests, leashes, or harnesses also include a note that the dog is only recognized as an emotional support animal and not as a guide, signal, or service dog.
Guidelines in Third Section
This section contains the guidelines for mental healthcare expert. The state where the ESA document is supplied recognizes the scope under the health professional's license. It should therefore be clear from the license that it belongs to the state for which the health professional presents the ESA document.
