New Hampshire Statutes guarantee a blind person the legal right to be accompanied by a specially trained dog guide in all public accommodations and on all public transportation. No extra charge can be levied because of the dog's presence, but the dog guide user is liable for any damage the dog might cause to the premises. State policy ensures equal employment opportunity to blind persons in its state service, the service of its political subdivisions, in public schools, and in any employment supported in whole or part by public funds, except when the particular disability prevents performance of the work involved.
