The legislative home stretch:American Veterinary Medical Association works to pass remaining high-priority bills on its 2014 legislative agenda

摘要

Passage of the Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act in July crossed one huge piece of legislation off the agenda of the American Veterinary Medical Associations (AVMAs) Governmental Relations Division for 2014. Passed in the U.S. Senate and ushered through the House of Representatives by Veterinary Medicine Caucus members Kurt Schrader, DVM, (D-Ore.) and Ted Yoho, DVM, (R-Fla.), the new law eases friction between mobile veterinarians and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) by allowing the transport and administration of controlled substances outside registered DEA locations for veterinary practice.
