Effective date, January 1, 2027.
Summary
This law amends Oregon’s veterinary practice statutes to carve out exceptions for a range of people—including trained cattle pregnancy testers, allied‑health practitioners with vet referrals, certified euthanasia technicians, and certain government or research staff—so they can perform those tasks without a veterinary license. It also lets the State Veterinary Board set rules for unlicensed persons to give vaccinations or assist in veterinary care. The changes take effect on Jan. 1, 2027, with the new exemptions becoming operative on Jan. 1, 2031.
