AN ACT Relating to providing animal health care; creating new provisions; and amending ORS 686.040.
AI Summary
This bill amends Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 686.040, which outlines exceptions to the general prohibition against practicing veterinary medicine without a license. Specifically, it adds a new provision allowing individuals trained to verify pregnancy in cattle to perform these services within the scope of their training, and it clarifies that the Oregon State Veterinary Medical Examining Board can establish rules for when unlicensed individuals may perform certain activities, such as giving vaccinations or assisting in veterinary procedures. The bill also makes a technical correction to remove outdated language and delays the effectiveness of certain amendments to January 1, 2031.
