* For California residents, effective January 1, 2022, new law AB 468 requires those seeking an ESA letter for dogs to establish a client-provider relationship with the individual for at least 30 days prior to providing documentation, which will result in having two consultations before qualifying.
An increasing number of people are beginning to recognize the mental health benefits of owning an emotional support animal. Both federal law and Nebraska law recognize the value of assistance animals, and have protections in place to guarantee equal access to housing for all ESA owners.
In Nebraska, as in all U.S. states, individuals with service animals have the legal right to access nearly all public places – including establishments where animals are otherwise prohibited. This includes shops, restaurants, hotels, theaters, cinemas, hospitals, and libraries. Unfortunately, the same rules do not apply to emotional support animals, and there is no legal obligation for ESAs to be granted admission to public places. Instead, this decision is made on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the establishment’s owner or manager. As an ESA owner, the best thing you can do is to present your emotional support animal letter and explain your situation. If you have the proper documentation, the venue may choose to make an exception and accommodate you and your companion animal.
The rules are the same for workplaces. Your boss is more likely to make a special allowance if you make a polite request and bring your ESA letter – it never hurts to ask!
When it comes to air travel, it’s up to the airline to determine whether they will admit your ESA on board your flight. As specified by the Air Carrier Access Act, they are under no obligation to do so. To give yourself the best chance of a favorable decision, you should make your request long before your planned travel date. If the airline refuses to accommodate your emotional support animal, they may still be able to travel with you as an ordinary pet, subject to the airline’s usual pet policies and fees.
Fortunately, your right to live anywhere – even in a rental property – with your emotional support animal is secure in Nebraska, thanks to the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA). As long as you have a valid ESA letter from a licensed mental health professional, your housing provider must make reasonable accommodations for you and your assistance animal. The landlord must also waive any pet fees and breed or weight restrictions.
However, keep in mind that in Nebraska, it's illegal to misrepresent an animal as a service animal or emotional support animal. This is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and six months in jail. Make sure to have the correct paperwork for your assistance animal, and always be honest about their role and training.
