Regardless of what specific tasks a service dog performs, once it can reliably perform at least one disability-mitigating task, it is considered a service dog, and the provisions of the ADA apply and need to be enforced. Any state or local law that attempts to countermand, or make more restrictive, any provision of the ADA is essentially unenforceable because when state or local laws do not align with federal law, federal law takes priority.
So it depends how the service dog is labeled.
The ADA goes on to provide examples of tasks that a service dog can perform, including “calming a person with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack.” And yet, service dogs for people with PTSD are often mislabeled as “emotional support animals” (ESAs), which are not covered by the ADA.

The ADA respect of helpful animals has been lost to people like my daughter who think they cant leave the house without their pet. And she knows every instance she may come across where that law says she is right and, I am sometimes embarrased for her to be my daughter when she goes off chapter and verse on people she has never met on why its legal as to what she wants to do with her dog.
The wife and I both have asked where this come from in our child and we have absolutly no idea. We tried to raise her with conservative christian background, but the "emotional support animal" thing really found home with her.
