Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Veterinary Medicine and Surgery Practice Act of 2004. Provides that "certified veterinary technician" or "veterinary technician" means a person who is a graduate of a veterinary technology program accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association's Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities and who has successfully passed the Veterinary Technician National Examination (rather than a person who is validly and currently licensed to practice veterinary technology in the State). Provides that every holder of a license shall display the license or a copy of the license in a conspicuous place in the holder's principal office or any other location where the holder renders services as a veterinarian or a certified veterinary technician. Requires every displayed license to have the license number visible.
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Further amends the Veterinary Medicine and Surgery Practice Act of 2004. Provides that the title "certified veterinary technician", "veterinary technician", "vet tech", or "technician" and the initials "CVT" or "VT" (rather than the title "certified veterinary technician" and the initials "CVT") may only be used by persons certified by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
