AI Summary

This bill amends existing Indiana law to expand the scope of background check requirements and licensure provisions for veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Specifically, the bill broadens the applicability of background check and licensing regulations to include not just licenses and certificates, but also registrations and permits for veterinary professionals. It requires individuals applying for initial veterinary professional credentials to submit to both state and national criminal history background checks at their own expense. The bill also allows the state police department to release national criminal history background check results to the Indiana professional licensing agency, the chief administrative officer of the board of veterinary medicine, and authorized employees of the board of animal health. Additionally, the legislation permits licensing boards to conduct random audits and require renewed professionals to undergo national criminal history background checks. The national criminal history background check is defined as the criminal history record system maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) based on fingerprint or other positive identification methods. These changes aim to enhance professional screening and oversight in the veterinary medicine field.
