- Removes the phrase 'shall include an animal that is being trained to work, provide assistance or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability, or to provide emotional support that alleviates one (1) or more identified symptoms or effects of a person's disability' from the definition of 'Assistance animal'. (Page 1, line 5-6)
- Changes the reference from 'and 35-13-206(a) are' to 'is' in the statutory amendment citation. (Page 1, lines 11-12)
- Removes language deleting the word 'and' after '(viii)' in the statute, which would have allowed additional provisions to be added. (Page 1, line 11)
- Deletes two lines that appear to contain penalty modification language. (Page 2, lines 22-23)
- Deletes nine lines of text that contain provisions related to penalty increases for injuring or killing service or assistance animals. (Page 3, lines 2-10)
