Existing law, the Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, establishes the California Veterinary Medical Board to license and regulate the practice of veterinary medicine. The act requires all premises where veterinary medicine, veterinary dentistry, or veterinary surgery is being practiced to be kept clean and sanitary at all times and conform to minimum standards established by the board.
This bill would specify that the minimum standards established by the board shall not require a dedicated surgical suite for any veterinary premises that primarily performs high-quality, high-volume spay or neuter services, as defined.
