State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners - Veterinarians, Veterinary Technicians, and Veterinary Assistants

Summary

The bill requires the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners to create an expedited licensing pathway for veterinary technicians and assistants who are already authorized in another state, similar to the existing pathway for veterinarians. It also lets the Board count time worked as a technician toward the education or training needed to become a licensed veterinarian, and lets the Veterinary Technician Committee count assistant experience toward technician registration. The changes aim to ease workforce shortages and recognize existing experience.
