Veterinary medicine; providing written prescriptions to clients required, subject to conditions

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill would require veterinarians to provide a written prescription to clients upon request, as long as it's medically safe and a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship exists. It would also require veterinarians to inform clients that they can request a written prescription before dispensing medication and mandate that veterinary facilities post signs notifying the public of this right. These changes would give pet owners more options for where to fill their pet's prescriptions.
