NORTH DAKOTA

North Dakota Statutes: North Dakota Century Code of
1967 (last amended 1985), Chapter 25-13, Sections 25-
13-01 through 25-13-05

North Dakota statutes guarantee a blind person the
legal right to be accompanied by a specially trained
dog guide in all public accommodations and on all
public conveyances.  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.  State statutory policy also insures a blind
person equal employment opportunity in state service,
or the service of its political subdivisions and
public schools, or in employment supported in whole or
in part by public funds, unless the visual impairment
prevents performance of the work involved.

Public accommodations include hotels, lodging places,
places of resort and amusement, stores, restaurants,
and other facilities to which the general public is
invited.  (*25-13-02)

Public conveyances include trains, airplanes, taxis,
buses, boats, and other modes of transportation
offered for public use.  (*25-13-02)

Violation: Any person, firm, or corporation or agent
thereof who interferes with the legal rights
enumerated above is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor
and punishable accordingly.  (*25-13-04)
