The proposed bill amends existing laws regarding emotional support animals by granting private property owners and business owners the authority to prohibit these animals from their premises. Specifically, it allows property owners to ban emotional support animals unless such a ban is 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 allowed.

Additionally, the bill establishes that private property owners 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 and business owners concerning emotional support animals, thereby regulating liability and enhancing the management of such situations on private premises.
