Guide, Hearing and Assistance Dogs Amendment Bill 2015
This bill updates Queensland's guide, hearing and assistance dog laws so that people with disability who need a support person to handle their dog (like a child with autism and their parent) are properly recognised. It also cuts red tape by letting approved trainers issue handler ID cards directly, and gives inspectors stronger powers to enforce the Act.
