The proposed bill amends Arkansas law regarding emotional support animals by granting private property and business owners the authority to prohibit these animals from their premises. Specifically, it allows property owners to ban emotional support animals unless restricted by the Fair Housing Act or other federal laws. Business owners can enforce this ban by either verbally informing customers or by posting a sign at the entrance indicating that emotional support animals are not permitted.

Additionally, the bill establishes that private property and business owners will not be held liable for injuries caused by emotional support animals, except in cases of gross negligence. This change aims to clarify the responsibilities and rights of property owners concerning emotional support animals while ensuring that they are protected from liability under most circumstances.
