Oklahoma SB1677 creates the Veterinary Telemedicine for Livestock Care Act, enabling licensed veterinarians to evaluate, diagnose, and provide treatment recommendations for livestock via telemedicine when an in-person examination is not immediately feasible.

Telemedicine is limited to cases where visual or verbal communication with the owner or caretaker provides sufficient information for the veterinarian to make a professional judgment.
