Summary

The bill lets people who are not licensed veterinarians provide care to animals held by animal shelters, as long as a licensed vet supervises them and gives a written or verbal protocol. It applies to all shelter animals, including those in redemption periods, and requires the vet to confirm the person has been properly trained. The goal is to expand care capacity while keeping professional oversight.
