The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5904, aims to amend subsections (b) and (c) of section 20-204a of the general statutes to enhance transparency for pet owners during investigations into alleged wrongdoing by veterinarians. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Department of Public Health must disclose relevant information to the pet owner both during and after the investigation concerning their animal.

The intent of this legislation is to ensure that pet owners are kept informed about the status and findings of investigations involving their pets, thereby promoting accountability and trust in veterinary practices. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of new requirements for information disclosure to pet owners.
