What qualifies as a service dog in Kansas?

What the law says

In plain language

In Kansas, the federal ADA controls who counts as a service dog for public-access purposes. The dog must be (1) individually trained, and (2) trained to perform a specific task or "work" tied to a disability. The training does not have to come from a professional school — owner-trained service dogs are recognized under the ADA — but the dog must actually perform a discrete task on cue or in response to a stimulus. Emotional comfort alone, without a trained task, does not meet the ADA definition.
