This federal law applies to all businesses open to the public, including restaurants, hotels, taxis and shuttles, grocery and department stores, hospitals and medical offices, theaters, health clubs, parks, and zoos, Shortell, J. ( 2016). So, this is a law that supports those who must have a service dog with them. There are questions businesses may ask such as if the animal is a service animal, they can also ask about the tasks that the animal has been trained to perform. As well there are questions that cannot be asked such as questions about identification cards and they cannot ask about the person’s disability. And since service dogs can go and be with the handler everywhere they cannot be charged extra fees. People with a disability cannot be asked to remove his service dog from the premises unless the violate the following; if the
dog is out of control and the dog’s owner does not take effective action to control it or if the dog poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others otherwise they cannot be denied. Allergies and fear of animals are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people with service dogs. Violators of the ADA law can be required to pay money damages and penalties per to the united states department of justice(ADA).
