AI Summary

This bill amends KRS 164.295 to permit Murray State University to offer doctor's degrees required for professional practice and licensure in veterinary medicine. The bill allows comprehensive universities, which are a type of state university in Kentucky, to provide certain advanced practice doctoral programs upon approval from the Council on Postsecondary Education. However, the bill maintains the restriction that comprehensive universities cannot offer terminal degrees like the Doctor of Philosophy or degrees required for professional practice in fields like medicine and law, except for the existing law school at Northern Kentucky University and the new veterinary medicine program at Murray State University.
