Veterinarians; practice and provision of veterinary teletriage and veterinary telemedicine; revise provisions

Summary

The bill changes Georgia law so that a licensed veterinarian or a supervised veterinary technician can offer teletriage services even when they do not have an established veterinarian‑client‑patient relationship, provided no other licensed professional is within 50 miles and can see the animal within 24 hours. It also clarifies that teleadvice can be given without such a relationship and requires written disclosure of the provider’s credentials and a client signature. The changes take effect immediately upon the governor’s signature and any conflicting statutes are repealed.
