HB 170 - PHYS/MENTALLY CHALLENGED/ SERVICE ANIMALS Number 0050 CHAIRMAN BUNDE announced the first item on the agenda was HB 170, "An Act relating to interference with the rights of physically and mentally challenged persons; and relating to service animals during their training period." He stated that the committee had adopted a committee substitute the last time the bill was heard. Number 0089 REPRESENTATIVE TOM BRICE said CSHB 170(HES) addresses a need. People in the disabled community, who rely on service animals for their independence, need to have properly trained service animals. Number 0133 CHAIRMAN BUNDE commented that these animals are worth $50,000 a piece and stated that he is sure they will be carefully cared for by their trainers. Number 0154 REPRESENTATIVE BRICE made a motion to move CSHB 170(HES) with individual recommendations and zero fiscal notes. Hearing no objection CSHB 170(HES) was moved from the House Health, Education and Social Services Standing Committee.
