Significant accessibility news from the CDC!

New guidance from the CDC and other key federal agencies offers important guidance and clarification about access for service animals in biomedical and microbiological laboratories.

Specifically, "When entities conduct risk assessments and establish policies that accommodate service animals, such practices should comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and
regulations. Importantly, the BMBL lacks the authority to mandate changes to institutional practices or policies and should not be used as a basis to deny reasonable accommodations or service requests."

To learn more, check out the new publication "Clarification on Service Animals in Laboratories" -https://www.cdc.gov/labs/pdf/Clarification-on-Service-Animals-Laboratories-Compliance-with-Federal-Laws-and-BMBL-Guidance.pdf
