AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 16 AND 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO VETERINARIANS AND MANDATORY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

Summary

The law obligates all veterinarians in Delaware to report any suspected animal abuse or neglect to the Office of Animal Welfare or the appropriate authority. Veterinarians must complete required training on recognizing cruelty every two years and attest to this training when applying for or renewing a license. The Board of Veterinary Medicine can discipline vets who fail to follow the reporting or training rules, but those who report in good faith are protected from liability.
