	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 307, as introduced, Price. Healing arts: Veterinary Medical
Board.
   Existing law, the Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, provides for
the licensure and registration of veterinarians and registered
veterinary technicians and the regulation of the practice of
veterinary medicine by the Veterinary Medical Board. Under existing
law, the board consists of 7 members, 3 of whom are public members
and 4 of whom are licensed veterinarians. Existing law repeals the
provisions establishing the board, and authorizing the board to
appoint an executive officer as of January 1, 2014.
   Under existing law, the board is subject to evaluation by the
Joint Sunset Review Committee prior to its repeal.
   This bill would provide that those provisions are instead repealed
as of January 1, 2018. This bill would instead require that the
board be subject to review by the appropriate policy committees of
the Legislature.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
