Purpose of the meeting
House Joint Resolution 160, was approved by the 2016 General Assembly. This resolution instructs the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) to review Virginia's companion animal licensing procedures and assess the feasibility of establishing a statewide system for recording rabies vaccinations and licensing that may include a statewide database of licensed companion animals. The resolution further articulates that VDH shall be assisted in its work by a panel of stakeholders including representatives of local government, the Virginia Animal Control Association, the Virginia Veterinary Medical Association and citizens experienced in animal welfare issues.
