As St. Charles Republican, Rep. Chrissy Sommer ends her term, eight years of her work comes to fruition. Senate Bill 644 puts the person guilty of a misdemeanor if found misrepresenting a dog as a service animal just for the purpose of receiving accommodations under the ADA and the Fair Housing Act.

Impersonating a person with a disability and misrepresenting a service animal will be managed by Missouri’s Commission on Human Rights. Members of the Missouri House voted 137-6 for a decision to send Gov. Mike Parson this proposed law and last March the legislation moved through the Senate with a 28-1 vote. “I am so happy and proud to eventually get this passed,” Rep. Sommer said.
