Subject: [Cagdu] Penal Code sections
Message-ID: <CA+JLRL8OTNsAW023_DknxL0j_0AyhPS1S2q1gBtT82H35fN=Pw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,
Below are the Penal Code sections, first summarized, then in full,
that I just referenced on the chat.

In short, Penal Code section 365.5 gives us the right to use our guide
dogs in public transportation and facilities, medical facilities,
places of public accommodations, etc. It makes it a misdemeanor to
itnerfere with our right to use the guide dog in the listed places.


Penal Code ssection 365.6 makes it a misdemeanor to intensionally
interfere with the use of a guide dog.

Penal Code Section 365.7 makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly and
fraudulently misrepresent himself as the owner or trainer of any
guide, signal or service dog as defined.

Here are the full versions of each of the above Penal Code sections.

Penal Code Section 365.5
(a) Any blind person, deaf person, or disabled person, who is a
passenger on any common carrier, airplane, motor vehicle, railway
train, motorbus, streetcar, boat, or any other public conveyance or
mode of transportation operating within this state, shall be entitled
to have with him or her a specially trained guide dog, signal dog, or
service dog.


(b) No blind person, deaf person, or disabled person and his or her
specially trained guide dog, signal dog, or service dog shall be
denied admittance to accommodations, advantages, facilities, medical
facilities, including hospitals, clinics, and physicians? offices,
telephone facilities, adoption agencies, private schools, hotels,
lodging places, places of public accommodation, amusement, or resort,
and other places to which the general public is invited within this
state because of that guide dog, signal dog, or service dog.


(c) Any person, firm, association, or corporation, or the agent of any
person, firm, association, or corporation, who prevents a disabled

remedies available for a violation of this section.


(2) This section is intended to provide equal accessibility for all

and the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-435).2
