When a customer walks into your business accompanied by a service animal, you may have a situation covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “Act”). What can you legally ask and do?
This free webinar, presented by an experienced compliance professional from the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights, will help you navigate the process of complying with the Act. This presentation includes a brief overview of the Act and answers these
questions:
• What businesses does the Act cover? In other words, what is a “place of public accommodation”?
• What is considered a “service animal”?
• What if the business has a “no dogs/pets” policy? Or prepares or sells food?
• What can a “place of public accommodation” lawfully ask about “service animals”?
Plus more, including Q&A!
Approximately 30 minutes before the webinar’s start, you will be sent the login information via the email address you used to register.
