Bill > HB173

This bill amends Kentucky law to clarify definitions and requirements related to rabies vaccinations for pets. It defines "veterinarian" and "veterinary technician" for the purposes of rabies vaccination laws, with a veterinary technician being a professional defined in KRS 321.181 who works under the direct supervision of a veterinarian present at the same facility. The bill also updates the requirements for rabies vaccinations, specifying that a Kentucky-licensed veterinary technician can administer vaccinations to dogs, cats, or ferrets, but only when a veterinarian licensed in Kentucky is directly supervising them and is physically present at the location where the vaccination is given. This aims to ensure proper oversight and safety in the rabies vaccination process for pets.
