Idaho Veterinary Practice Act
Idaho · Professions, Vocations, and Businesses · §§ 54-2101 to 54-2121 · 23 sections
Overview
This act establishes a regulatory framework for the practice of veterinary medicine, creating a state veterinary board with rulemaking, investigative, and disciplinary authority over the profession. It sets licensing requirements for veterinarians and veterinary technicians — covering education at approved veterinary schools, examinations, temporary and reciprocal licenses, renewal, and continuing education — and defines exemptions from those requirements. It also prohibits and penalizes unlicensed practice, regulates the ownership of veterinary practices and the permitting of premises, provides for peer review and wellness committees with attendant confidentiality and immunity protections, and addresses ancillary matters such as liens for services and the euthanasia of animals.
