Summary

The bill bars Maryland’s State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners from suspending, revoking, reprimanding, censuring, or placing a veterinarian on probation solely because the professional talks about or suggests using cannabis or cannabidiol on an animal. It applies to all licensed veterinarians and veterinary practitioners in the state. The change aims to protect clinicians’ ability to discuss emerging therapies without fear of disciplinary action.
