This bill amends 4 O.S. 2021, Section 801, which pertains to public accommodations for service animals. It clarifies the definitions of "service animal," "emotional support animal," and "therapy animal," emphasizing that only service animals are recognized under the law. The bill allows public accommodations to adopt policies that prohibit animals, except for service animals, and mandates that such establishments post signs indicating which animals are prohibited while also stating that service animals are permitted.

Additionally, the bill introduces new legal provisions that make it unlawful for individuals who are not disabled or trained to assist individuals with disabilities to use a service animal to gain benefits or treatment. It also prohibits the misrepresentation of any animal as a service animal for the purpose of obtaining rights or privileges designated for individuals with disabilities. Violations of these provisions will result in misdemeanor charges. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
