This bill amends the New Hampshire Veterinary Practice Act to exempt individuals who hold a doctorate in veterinary medicine (DVM) or a doctor of chiropractic (DC) degree from the requirement to obtain a veterinary license, provided they have completed a nationally recognized animal chiropractic program. The determination of what constitutes a nationally recognized program will be made by the executive director of the office of professional licensure and certification, in consultation with the board of veterinary medicine and the board of chiropractic examiners.

The specific legal language added to the act is the new paragraph XI, which outlines these exemptions, while no deletions from the current law are indicated in the text provided. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
