### sec.8 People with a disability may be accompanied by their guide, hearing and assistance dogs
Despite any other Act, a person with a disability who relies on a guide, hearing or assistance dog to reduce the person’s need for support may be accompanied by the person’s certified guide, hearing or assistance dog in a place of accommodation, public place or public passenger vehicle.
Also, a person with a disability who relies on a guide, hearing or assistance dog to reduce the person’s need for support does not commit an offence merely by taking the person’s certified guide, hearing or assistance dog into a place of accommodation, public place or public passenger vehicle.
