If this bill were to become law, it would update current statutes regarding the prescription of drugs or medications by veterinarians through electronic means. Specifically, it would extend the initial prescription period from 14 days to 60 days, allowing veterinarians to issue and renew prescriptions for a longer duration. Additionally, the bill would make a technical change to the language used in the statute, replacing "veterinary client patient relationship" with "veterinarian client patient relationship" to ensure clarity and accuracy.
The bill also modifies the requirements for documentation provided to clients after an electronic visit, ensuring that it includes the veterinarian's license number. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of veterinary care while maintaining necessary regulatory standards.
