House Bill No. 1033 aims to amend the existing law regarding the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners by re-creating the Board and extending its termination date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2030. This extension is in accordance with the Oklahoma Sunset Law, which governs the regulation and enforcement of veterinary medicine practices in the state. The bill emphasizes the Board's responsibility to ensure the qualifications and fitness of individuals practicing veterinary medicine and to combat unlawful practices in the field.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to enhance the integrity of the Board's operations. It mandates that no Board member can participate in decisions that may affect their personal interests or those of their relatives or associates. Furthermore, the Board is required to adopt and annually review a conflict of interest policy with legal counsel to uphold the standards set forth in the Oklahoma Veterinary Practice Act. Overall, the bill seeks to protect public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring that the practice of veterinary medicine is conducted professionally and lawfully.
