Plain-language change summary

The revised version of HB 4801 allows individuals who are permanently disabled with severe mobility impairments to possess one capuchin monkey as an aid for daily tasks, given that the monkey is obtained from a licensed nonprofit organization and the individual meets certain notification requirements. This change is important because it recognizes the potential benefits of service animals for people with disabilities while still regulating their ownership to ensure it is done safely and responsibly. Additionally, the original provisions that generally restricted ownership of primates have been streamlined, making it clearer how disabled individuals can use these animals as support.
