AI Summary

This bill amends the state's laws to allow licensed equine dental practitioners to perform certain dental procedures on horses, such as floating teeth, removing deciduous caps, and removing erupted, non-displaced wolf teeth. The bill defines "floating teeth" as the application of instruments to reduce or eliminate deposits on the tooth surface, but excludes procedures that involve soft tissue or the use of controlled substances, which can only be done by a licensed veterinarian. The bill aims to regulate the practice of equine dentistry in the state.
