relating to the requirement that the State Board of Veterinary | ||
Medical Examiners provide a copy of a complaint to the subject of | ||
the complaint. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 801.207, Occupations Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsection (b-1) to read as follows: | ||
(b-1) Notwithstanding Subsection (b), the board shall | ||
provide a copy of each complaint to the license holder who is the | ||
subject of the complaint not later than the 14th day after the date | ||
the complaint is filed with the board, unless providing a copy of | ||
the complaint would jeopardize an investigation. The board may not | ||
require the license holder to request a copy of the complaint. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 801.207(b-1), Occupations Code, as added | ||
by this Act, applies only to a complaint filed with the State Board | ||
of Veterinary Medical Examiners on or after the effective date of | ||
this Act. A complaint filed with the board before the effective date | ||
of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the | ||
complaint was filed, and the former law is continued in effect for | ||
that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021. |
