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 law enforcement sectors, as well as professionals in service animal advocacy and retail interests. The commission's mandate includes reviewing existing laws, examining the benefits of service animals for individuals with disabilities, investigating fraud and misuse, and exploring best practices from other jurisdictions.

The commission is tasked with reporting its findings by April 1, 2026, which will include recommendations for potential changes to laws regarding service animals, including definitions and measures to combat fraud. The report will also assess the feasibility of certifying or licensing service animals in the Commonwealth. This initiative aims to enhance understanding and compliance with service animal laws among public officials, law enforcement, and the general public.
