Chamber Passed·2/25/26

Arizona SB1144 modifies veterinary technician certification by allowing alternative supervised work or on-the-job training in lieu of formal.

Arizona SB1144 amends the certification process for veterinary technicians by allowing applicants to qualify through supervised work or on-the-job training instead of formal education. Applicants must provide a description of the skills developed and a signature from a licensed veterinarian who supervised the work. This bill also allows applicants from other states to retake the veterinary technician national examination if they meet specific criteria, including holding an active license in good standing and proof of recent employment as a veterinary technician.
