This bill establishes the third week in September as "New Hampshire Service Dog Week" to recognize the significant role that service dogs play in enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities. The new legal language inserted into the current law under RSA 4 includes a section (4:13-ee) that outlines the purpose of this week, which is to honor the contributions of service dogs, acknowledge the dedication of those who train and care for them, and celebrate the bond between service dogs and their handlers. The bill encourages the governor to proclaim this week annually and invites communities and individuals to participate in appropriate ceremonies and activities.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law, as it solely adds a new section to recognize Service Dog Week. It is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
