(FOX 35) – The U.S. Department of Transportation is amending its rules on service animals on flights, cracking down on emotional support animals.

Starting Monday, passengers will be required to submit a standardized federal form to their airline about the health and training of their service animal.

The form will ask about the animal’s training, certification, good behavior and health.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued the final rule last month and amends the Department’s Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) regulation on the transport of service animals by air.
