The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 25.341, by adding a new subdivision that authorizes commercial feed licensees to employ licensed veterinarians. This provision allows these licensees to hire veterinarians without the need to organize under the Minnesota Professional Firms Act, as stipulated in chapter 319B.
Under the new language, veterinarians employed by commercial feed licensees are permitted to practice veterinary medicine and provide services to the licensee's customers. This change aims to enhance the services available to those in the agricultural sector by allowing direct access to veterinary care through commercial feed operations.
