MODERATE
This bill updates the definitions of allied animal health professionals and related terms in Kentucky law, clarifying what constitutes an allied animal health professional facility and expanding the list of locations that are excluded from requiring a facility license. The changes include renumbering some definitions and adding specific exclusions like temporary animal exhibitions and human facilities.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on allied animal health professional licensing, but the definitions now more clearly distinguish between different types of facilities and locations where allied animal health professionals may operate without needing a facility license.
DEFINITION

Added 'human facility' and 'referral facility' to the list of locations that can be considered allied animal health professional facilities

Added 'Locations for temporary animal exhibition' as an excluded location that does not require an AAHP facility license

Reorganized and renumbered the list of excluded locations from items 5-6 to items 1-6 for clarity
