TITLE 888 INDIANA BOARD OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Notice of Public Hearing LSA Document #25-432 Under IC 4-22-2-24, notice is hereby given that on January 29, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., at the Indiana State Board of Animal Health Board Room, 1202 East 38th Street, Discovery Hall, Suite 100, Indianapolis, Indiana, the Indiana Board of Veterinary Medicine (BVM) will hold a public hearing on adding, amending, and repealing rules at: (1) 888 IAC 1.1-3 concerning fees, fines, and civil penalties; and (2) 888 IAC 1.1-10 concerning continuing education requirements. The proposed rule will align BVM's fees, fines, and civil penalties rules with IC 4-22-2-19.6. The proposed rule will modify the existing fee structure and add previously unenumerated fees related to renewal of veterinarian licenses and veterinary technician registrations that have lapsed. The proposed rule will set forth a baseline for fines imposed as a disciplinary sanction by BVM. The proposed rule will also set forth a baseline for previously unenumerated civil penalties and establish mitigating and aggravating factors that BVM will use when setting a specific dollar amount in any individual fine or civil penalty. The proposed rule will clarify continuing education (CE) requirements for veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians in areas including CE hours for new graduates, what activities qualify for CE, and what a CE audit entails. The purpose of this hearing is to receive comments from the public prior to consideration of adoption of these rules by BVM. All interested persons are invited and will be given reasonable opportunity to express their views concerning the proposed amendments. This notice is the second of two (2) public hearings in which the public may comment on the proposed rule. Following the second public comment period and this public hearing, BVM may adopt a version of the proposed rule that is the same as or does not substantially differ from the text of the proposed rule published in the Notice of Second Public Comment Period. The public may attend the BVM meeting in person or join virtually at https://www.in.gov/vetboard/board-meetings/. Copies of these rules are now on file at the Indiana Board of Veterinary Medicine, 1202 East 38th Street, Discovery Hall, Suite 100, Indianapolis, Indiana and are open for public inspection and copying.
