| Action Summary | Pursuant to a periodic review of regulations, the Board intends to amend regulations to organize requirements for greater clarity, update the descriptions and requirements for veterinary establishments consistent with current practices, and specify rules in accordance with Board interpretation for ease of compliance. Amendments will make licensure by endorsement less burdensome, ensure greater accountability and security for prescription drugs in the interest of public safety, and respond to public comment about the need for more informed consent in the performance of surgery and the use of preceptees in a veterinary establishment. The goal of the planned action is to update and clarify rules in such a manner to address the concerns expressed by members of the public and the issues identified by Department inspectors and board members through the inspection and the disciplinary process. |
