National Federation of the Blind of Maryland Inc

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is dedicated to advocating for the rights and protections of individuals who rely on service animals, including guide dogs. They aim to address gaps in existing legislation, particularly the Maryland White Cane Law, to ensure that users can keep their retired service animals without facing undue hardship from landlords or homeowners associations.

Through their efforts, the organization seeks to enhance civil rights protections for disabled individuals, allowing them to maintain emotional bonds with their service animals throughout their lives. The proposed legislative changes would prevent landlords from demanding additional compensation for allowing retired service animals to remain with their handlers, thereby alleviating unnecessary burdens on these individuals.
