Bill > HB1408

This bill authorizes licensed veterinary technicians (LVTs), who are trained professionals assisting veterinarians, to administer antirabies vaccinations to animals under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian, a change from the previous requirement that only licensed veterinarians could perform this task. The bill amends existing laws concerning rabies control and the practice of veterinary medicine and technology to reflect this new authorization, including updating definitions to clarify that administering an antirabies vaccination is now part of the practice of veterinary technology when done by an LVT according to specific guidelines. It also makes conforming changes to ensure consistency in terminology and procedures related to rabies inoculation and the collection of associated fees.
