Bill > SB0194

This bill amends the Michigan Public Health Code to make several technical changes related to veterinary practice regulations. The bill modifies language around who can practice veterinary medicine, specifying that individuals must be licensed or otherwise authorized to practice, and clarifies restrictions on the use of veterinary-related titles and terms. Specifically, the bill updates section 16287 to require the department to promulgate rules in consultation with the Michigan board of veterinary medicine, and modifies section 18811 to refine language about veterinary practice and professional titles. The bill also includes a tie-bar provision, meaning it will only take effect if Senate Bill No. 193 of the 103rd Legislature is also enacted into law. Key changes include replacing the word "person" with "individual" throughout the text, adding a reference to section 18818 regarding veterinary practice, and slightly rewording descriptions of restricted professional titles and terminology. The modifications appear to be primarily technical in nature, aimed at providing more precise legal language around veterinary professional practices and licensing.
