HAWAII

Hawaii Revised Statutes, Sections 347-13, 347-14 & 347-19; Hawaii
Quarantine Policy No. A1-13, amended 7/17/80

Hawaii law guarantees the legal right of a blind person to be
accompanied by a specially trained dog guide in all places of public
accommodation and on all common carriers.  No extra charge can be levied
because of the dog's presence, but the dog guide user is liable for any
damage the dog might cause to the premises.

Public accommodations include hotels, lodging places, restaurants,
stores, places of resort and amusement, and all other places to which
the general public is invited.  (*347-13)

Common carriers include airplanes, boats, buses, taxis, and any other
mode of transportation offered for public use.  (*347-13)

Violation: Any person, firm, or corporation or agent thereof who
violates the above rights is punishable under Hawaiian law.  The statute
specifies that an official of a common carrier may be fined up to $1000,
and in addition may be imprisoned for interfering with these rights.
(*347-14)

Quarantine: There is a 120-day quarantine on all dogs entering Hawaii,
including dog guides.  The quarantine station, however, has two cottages
available for use by dog guide users.  Applications for their occupancy
must be sent to the superintendent of the quarantine station and they
will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Dog guides may
stay with their owners in these cottages and can be worked on the
quarantine station grounds.  The dog guide user may enter and leave the
station at any time, but the dog guide must be confined to the station
during the quarantine period.  The cost to a dog guide user is limited
to the regular charge levied for quarantining other dogs.  (Policy No.
