Codifies certain requirements and stipulations for licensed veterinarians to engage in telemedicine and telehealth.
This bill establishes rules for New Jersey veterinarians using telemedicine and telehealth services. It requires vets to confirm that remote care meets the same standard as in-person care before use, verify client and patient identities, obtain consent, and maintain records. Generally, consultations must use real-time video communication, though audio-only may be permitted if reviewed records show it meets care standards. The bill directly affects licensed veterinarians by defining their telehealth practice requirements under state law.
