Nebraska service dog laws
Nebraska protects service animal users through Neb. Rev. Stat. 20-127, which opens public places, transit and lodging to a person with a disability and a specially trained service animal. The same section gives bona fide trainers access with an animal in training, and interfering with either is a Class III misdemeanor. Section 20-131.04 carries those protections into rental housing.
- Neb. Rev. Stat. 20-127 lets a bona fide trainer bring a service animal in training into public places, with no extra charge for the animal.
- Under section 20-129, denying or interfering with the rights of a handler or a trainer is a Class III misdemeanor.
- Section 20-131.04 gives tenants with service animals full access to housing with no added fee or deposit, though they remain liable for damage.
