Rural Veterinary Workforce Act

Introduced·3/27/25

Provides tax exclusion for assistance to participants in veterinary student loan repayment or forgiveness programs.

The Rural Veterinary Workforce Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to exclude from gross income assistance provided to participants in certain veterinary student loan repayment or forgiveness programs. This aims to support veterinarians in rural areas by reducing their student loan debt, thereby encouraging them to practice in underserved regions. The exclusion applies to assistance provided under specific federal and state programs designed to increase access to veterinary services.
