What’s in it
This bill amends provisions in Code chapter 169 relating to the appointment of public members to the Iowa board of veterinary medicine. The bill provides that a public member cannot have ever been associated with the practice of veterinary medicine by being licensed, certified, registered, or subject to disciplinary action under that Code chapter. The public members cannot have ever been authorized to act under the supervision of the board as a veterinarian, veterinary technician, or veterinary assistant.
Read the full explanation
The bill also provides that organizations representing persons interested in animal husbandry may recommend appointments of public members to the governor in the same manner as organizations representing licensed veterinarians may recommend appointments of licensed veterinarians. The bill does not affect the current terms of public members.
