Plain-language change summary

The updated version of SB 3712 introduces new amendments to the Veterinary Medicine and Surgery Practice Act of 2004. Key changes include a clearer definition of the "veterinarian-client-patient relationship," which now allows licensed veterinarians who have access to an animal's medical records to provide care if the primary veterinarian is unavailable. The bill also increases the maximum civil penalty for violations from $5,000 to $10,000 and requires veterinarians to keep patient records for at least five years.
