If you live in Iowa and you claim a pet is a service animal but you do not have a disability, watch out, you may find yourself in hot water now that a new law is in place.
Signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds, the law also requires landlords to allow individuals with a disability to have service animals but requires the person to provide proof they are disabled.
The law was supported by the groups representing grocers, restaurants, retailers, and landlords but Disability Rights Iowa opposed it, fearing police may be called on individuals with service animals that show no visible disabilities.
