Opposition to proposed rule
 

To my knowledge, no other field permits this sort of transaction by untrained personnel – even under professional/licensed supervision.  Petition 261 is a dangerous and negligent proposal. It does not specifically address the personnel shortages in the veterinary field. If anything the proposal opens doors to aggravate the ongoing opioid crisis and fails to consider how the current language might impose undue risk and liabilities upon DVMs & LVTs.e over this text and enter your comments here.
