This information is valuable for all KOA Owners and Managers to review and share with their staff. The link provided will direct you to the DOJ website, or you can click on the PDF link to obtain a printable version of the document.
Frequently Asked Questions about Service Animals and the ADA aims to further assist covered entities and people with disabilities in understanding how the ADA's service animal provisions apply to them. The document answers questions that continue to be asked since the publication of the Department's 2011 document, Revised ADA Requirements: Service Animals.
