Did you know it is a misdemeanor in Georgia to deny entry to someone with a guide/service dog to any place the general public is invited? This includes restaurants, hotels, and all forms of transportation. These dogs are vital to blind, deaf, or otherwise physically disabled individuals. The dog must be identified as having been trained by a school for seeing eye, hearing, service, or guide dogs.
Georgia Law 30-4-4.
