The dog guide user can be required to produce identification, such as the I.D. card furnished by the dog guide school from which the dog was obtained. Public accommodations include trains, buses, taxis, elevators, boats, and other common carriers. (Sect. 750.502c) Violation: Any person who interferes with the above-enumerated rights is guilty of a misdemeanor and therefore punishable under Michigan law. (Sect. 750.502c)
