The "Chloe's Pet Access Law" permits dogs in the outdoor seating areas of food establishments under specific conditions, while also codifying existing regulations regarding live animals in such establishments. The bill outlines that live animals are generally not allowed on food establishment premises, with exceptions for certain situations where their presence would not lead to contamination of food or clean equipment. These exceptions include allowing edible fish in aquariums, patrol dogs accompanying law enforcement, service animals for individuals with disabilities, and pets in designated areas of group residences.

Under the new law, pet dogs may be permitted in outdoor dining areas if the food establishment owner chooses to allow it, provided that several conditions are met. These include having a separate outdoor entrance for dogs, ensuring that dogs do not come into contact with food service employees, and maintaining cleanliness in the outdoor area. Additionally, the bill allows for the storage of live or dead fish bait on the premises, as long as it does not result in contamination. The legislation is named in honor of a dog belonging to a family that advocated for these measures.
