Summary
Existing law, the Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, provides for the licensure and registration of veterinarians and the regulation of the practice of veterinary medicine by the Veterinary Medical Board in the Department of Consumer Affairs. Under the act, the repeal of the provision establishing the board renders the board subject to review by the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature. The act restricts the review to those issues identified by the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature and prohibits that review from involving the preparation or submission of a sunset review document or evaluative questionnaire. The act authorizes the board to appoint a person exempt from civil service as an executive officer with prescribed powers and duties. Existing law requires the board, by means of examination, to determine the professional qualifications of all applicants who wish to register as veterinary technicians in California. The act requires that examination to consist of a national licensing examination and an examination specific to the animal health care tasks limited to California registered veterinary technicians, as approved by the board. The bill would remove the prohibition on a sunset review document or evaluative questionnaire. The bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the executive officer provision. The bill would limit the examination for veterinary technicians to a national licensing examination.
