This bill establishes a certification process for non-veterinarians to perform bovine pregnancy determinations in Wyoming. It creates a new section, W.S. 33-30-226, outlining the requirements for certification, which include age verification, a clean criminal record related to animal care, and a sworn statement from a licensed veterinarian attesting to the applicant's skills. Additionally, applicants must complete a board-approved course on bovine pregnancy determinations. The bill also stipulates that the board must approve or deny certification within thirty days of receiving a complete application, and certifications will expire every two years, requiring renewal that includes continuing education.

The bill amends existing laws to incorporate the new certification process, allowing certified individuals to perform bovine pregnancy determinations without being licensed veterinarians. It includes penalties for practicing without proper certification and mandates the board of veterinary medicine to create necessary rules for implementation. The effective date for the bill is set for July 1, 2027, with certain sections taking effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
