AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law on the registration of veterinarians in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1) Veterinarians must pay a biannual license fee to the board, and failure to pay may result in the revocation of their license after a hearing, though payment of the fee plus an additional sum can remove the default; 2) Veterinarians seeking license renewal must present evidence of completing the continuing education required by the board; 3) Veterinarians who have temporarily retired from practice or removed from the state for up to 5 years can register again by paying the lapsed annual license fee and filing an affidavit; and 4) The bill will become effective on December 1, 2022.
