Requires veterinary clinics to file notice and documentation to the attorney general before completing certain transactions

Summary

The bill adds a new article to the Agriculture and Markets Law that obligates any veterinary clinic undergoing a transaction of $200,000 or more—such as a sale, merger, lease, or large equity distribution—to file a notice and supporting documents with the Department of Agriculture and Markets. The department then forwards the information to the attorney general, who will determine whether the transaction is against the public interest. The goal is to protect competition, quality, and access to veterinary care, especially in underserved communities.
