Florida

Florida's service animal statutes are both civil rights and criminal law.  They

affirm the federal civil rights law, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) .  


Florida law provides greater protection than the ADA.   Revisions made in 2015 make it a crime to misrepresent a service dog or interfere with a service dog.  At the same time, it expanded rights to handlers of service dogs in training.

413.08 Rights and responsibilities of an individual with a disability; use of a service animal;

Revisions made in 2015 make it a crime to interfere, or injure a service dog.  It also provides for full restitution for all damages.

413.081 Interference with or injury to a service animal
