Bill > HB452

This bill amends the State's laws to prevent the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners from taking disciplinary action, such as suspending or revoking a veterinarian's license, reprimanding them, or placing them on probation, if the sole reason for such action is the veterinarian discussing or recommending the use of cannabis or a product containing cannabidiol (a compound found in cannabis) for an animal's potential therapeutic benefit or as a health supplement. This change aims to protect veterinarians' ability to discuss these options with animal owners without fear of professional repercussions, provided there are no other grounds for disciplinary action.
