The proposed bill would update the current statutes regarding the reporting responsibilities of the board chairperson in relation to veterinarians. Specifically, it would replace the term "chairman" with "chairperson" to promote gender-neutral language. Additionally, the requirement for the chairperson to make "an annual" report would be changed to simply "a" report, allowing for flexibility in the frequency of reporting.

The content of the report itself would remain unchanged, as it would still include a summary of licenses or certificates denied, suspended, or revoked, as well as a financial statement for the preceding fiscal year. Furthermore, the provision allowing any board member to submit a separate report to the governor would also remain intact. Overall, these updates aim to modernize the language and reporting requirements without altering the substantive content of the reports.
