Under existing law, each partner of a partnership to practice veterinary medicine is required to be a licensed Alabama veterinarian, a licensed Alabama veterinarian is prohibited from practicing veterinary medicine as an employee of a person not licensed as an Alabama veterinarian, and only a licensed Alabama veterinarian may be the owner of a veterinary practice.
This bill would include any veterinarian employed by a 501(c)(3) entity as being exempt from the employment and ownership restrictions, and would specify the procedure for application to the Alabama Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners for a premises permit.
