Summary

The law lets a licensed veterinarian authorize certified veterinary technicians or trained shelter vaccine administrators to give rabies vaccinations in animal shelters, animal‑control facilities, and government‑run public‑health clinics. The veterinarian must remain on‑site or readily available, maintain written protocols, and oversee vaccine storage and record‑keeping. The change aims to expand vaccination capacity without altering private veterinary practice.
