The bill establishes a special legislative commission to study the intentional misrepresentation of service animals in the Commonwealth. This commission will consist of 15 members, including co-chairs from the joint committee on the judiciary, appointees from the speaker of the house, senate president, minority leaders, and various representatives from legal, disability, and advocacy organizations. The commission's mandate includes reviewing existing laws, examining the benefits of service animals for individuals with disabilities, investigating fraud and misuse, and researching practices in other jurisdictions to deter such misuse.

The commission is tasked with reporting its findings by April 1, 2026, which will include recommendations for potential changes to laws governing service animals, including definitions and possible legislation to penalize service animal fraud. Additionally, the commission will explore the feasibility of certifying, registering, or licensing service animals in the Commonwealth.
