Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to provide reciprocity for licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians who are licensed and in good standing in other states.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing West Virginia law to allow for reciprocity, meaning that licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians who are in good standing and have held active licenses for at least five years in other U.S. states or territories with substantially equivalent licensing requirements may be eligible for licensure or registration without needing to meet all the original requirements again. The bill also clarifies that the licensing board may require applicants to provide documentation, such as a letter of good standing, to prove their license has never been suspended or revoked due to disciplinary action.
