Nevada Revised Statutes (last amended in 1981),
Sections 118.105, 651.050, 651.070, 651.075, 651.080,
704.143, 704.145, 706.361, and 706.366; and Chapter
426

Under Nevada statutes a blind person has a legal right
to be accompanied by a specially trained dog guide in
all public accommodations and on all public
transportation.  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.  A dog guide user who operates a vending
stand has the right to keep his or her dog with him or
on the vending stand premises.  A dog guide user has
a legal right to equal housing accommodation and can
enforce this right through injunctive relief with
damages.  An identification card issued by a dog guide
school is sufficient proof that the dog is specially
trained in guide work.

Public accommodations include hotels, restaurants,
stores, places of resort and amusement, and all places
to which the general public is invited.  (*651.050,
*651.070, *651.075)

Public transportation includes trains, buses,
airplanes, taxis, and all other forms of public
conveyance offered for public use.  (*651.070,
*704.143, *704.145, *706.361, *706.366)

Housing covers rental properties.  The statute
contains a provision that the law is to be interpreted
liberally.  (*118.105)

Violation: Any person who interferes with the legal
rights of a blind person as outlined under Nevada law
is guilty of a misdemeanor and punishable accordingly.
