SB 307, as introduced, Price. Healing arts: Veterinary Medical Board.
Existing law, the Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, provides for the licensure and registration of veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians and the regulation of the practice of veterinary medicine by the Veterinary Medical Board. Under existing law, the board consists of 7 members, 3 of whom are public members and 4 of whom are licensed veterinarians. Existing law repeals the provisions establishing the board, and authorizing the board to appoint an executive officer as of January 1, 2014.
Under existing law, the board is subject to evaluation by the Joint Sunset Review Committee prior to its repeal.
This bill would provide that those provisions are instead repealed as of January 1, 2018. This bill would instead require that the board be subject to review by the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
