Amends, adds to, and repeals existing law regarding the Veterinary Practice Act.

This bill updates and modernizes the Veterinary Practice Act language. It deletes an unused definition, provides clarification for Board member’s term limits, and removes a statute of limitations for filing complaints. This bill removes the requirement of certain documentation streamlining the application process and implements endorsement licensing for out-of-state veterinarians. Additional changes include eliminating the January and June licensing dates and initiating a process that licenses applicants as soon as they have completed their application. Changing the January and June licensing dates in favor of immediate licensure also allows the Board to eliminate temporary licenses.
