16 Mar Kentucky Veterinary Medicine Practice Act Modernization Highlights
The Kentucky Veterinary Medicine Practice Act declares that the practice of veterinary medicine is a privilege granted by legislative authority in the interest of public health, safety, and welfare. In 2021, KBVE conducted an in-depth review of two national Practice Act Models (PAMs) from the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA); both PAMs have input from the national veterinary community. As a result, KBVE is proposing edits to the Kentucky Veterinary Medicine Practice Act to modernize the Commonwealth’s veterinary laws.
