To Whom It May Concern,

The proposed changes would cause increased economic hardship to the veterinary community by mandating LVT to perform all duties when it comes to anesthesia. Properly trained nursing assistants under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian allows many clinics to employ more staff and frees more LVTs to perform more important duties and have more supervision over nursing staff. Veterinary practices throughout the state would have a difficult time replacing all their nursing staff with LVT.

Thank you for your consideration,
