This amendment would definitely benefit the LVT's who have been home or out of the field for a period of time and wanting to transition back to coming in to a clinic.  Also, it would reduce the stress of the current LVT's by increasing numbers so clinics aren't so short on these necessary roles.  Of course, the credentials will still be in place, but make it easier for individuals looking to get back to work.  Allowing this change can only benefit Virginia's veterinary staff overall.
