Talk:Board Policy on Animals (view source)
Revision as of 13:38, 28 April 2015

Keeping this as part of PS:One's policies is beneficial. First, I don't think anyone knows about this. I didn't before researching this issue. A well-meaning person could ask questions of a disabled person that are illegal and could result in litigation. We don't want that. Making this a PS:One policy helps educate our own membership about federal law. Second, if someone does ask these questions and the organization does gets sued, we can assert as a defence that the organization itself took efforts to prevent this from happening, and that the person asking the questions did so while violating our policy. --[[User:Rdpierce|Rdpierce]] ([[User talk:Rdpierce|talk]]) 08:00, 28 April 2015 (CDT)

I think allowing a service animal and complying with the law should be a policy. Excerpts from the law will be helpful, but shouldn't be a part of the policy. Have a related information section on the policy page that discusses the nuances of the law or even quotes the law. --[[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 08:38, 28 April 2015 (CDT)
