Guide Laws |
State laws for all states and Canadian
provinces.
WASHINGTON
Washington Statutes, White Cane Law, Chapter 70.84, Sections 70.84.010 through 70.84.900,
last amended in 1985 Washington statutory law guarantees a blind person the legal right
to be accompanied by a specially trained dog guide in harness in all places of public
accommodation and on all public transportation. No extra charge can be levied because of
the dog's presence. State policy also ensures equal employment opportunity in state
service, in the service of its political subdivisions and public schools, and in
employment supported in whole or part by public funds, except when the visual disability
prevents performance of the work involved.
Public accommodations include hotels, restaurants, stores, public buildings, places of
resort, amusement, and assemblage, and any other place to which the general public is
invited. (#70.84.010, #70.84.030)
Public transportation includes trains, buses, airplanes, boats, taxis, and any other
common carriers or modes of conveyance offered for public use. (#70.84.010, #70.84.030)
Violation: Any person, firm, corporation or any agent thereof who interferes
with the above enumerated rights is guilty of a misdemeanor and punishable under
Washington law accordingly. (#70.84.070) |

Guide Dogs for
the Blind Association UK |
"A guide dog is almost equal in many ways
to giving a blind man sight itself." That tribute might have been written by any one
of the many thousands of guide dogs owners in the last 60 years. In fact, it was written
by Musgrave Frankland, one of the first four blind people to be trained in Britain.
This site is in England. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association's purpose is to
enhance the mobility, independence and quality of life of sight impaired people by
providing guide dogs and other services.
