California AB1999 amends veterinary practice regulations, including telemedicine, continuing education, and fee structures.

California AB1999 amends the Business and Professions Code to update veterinary practice regulations. It allows veterinarians to use telemedicine for diagnosing and treating animals, provided they follow privacy laws and maintain records. The bill sets specific fees for various veterinary licenses, registrations, and permits, and outlines continuing education requirements for veterinarians and veterinary technicians. It also defines terms such as "telemedicine," "teletriage," and "animal shelter," and specifies conditions under which veterinarians can prescribe refills for medications.
