KANSAS

K.S.A. 39-1101, Section 39-1101 through 39-1106, amended in 1981

Kansas statutory law guarantees a blind person the legal right to be
accompanied by a specially trained dog guide in all public
accommodations and on all common carriers.  No extra charge can be
levied because of the dog guide's presence, but the dog guide user is
liable for any damage to the premises that the dog might cause.  It is
Kansas state policy to insure equal opportunity in employment to blind
persons in its state service, or in the service of its political
subdivisions, in public schools and in all public employment supported
in whole or in part by public funds, except where the disability
prevents performance of the work involved.

Public accommodations include public buildings, hotels, lodging places,
restaurants, stores, places of resort and amusement, and all other
places to which the general public is invited.  (*39-1101, *39-1102)

Common carriers include boats, airplanes, buses, trains, taxis, and all
other modes of transportation offered for public use.  (*39-1101, *39-
1102)

Violation: Any person, firm, or corporation or agent thereof who
interferes with the above enumerated rights is guilty of a misdemeanor
and punishable accordingly under Kansas law.  (*39-1103)
