MODERATE
The bill was amended from its first engrossment to enrollment, primarily updating formatting, session dates, and correcting typos in definitions. The substantive policy content regarding veterinary medicine practice remains unchanged, with minor text corrections to definitions of 'Accredited college of veterinary medicine' and 'Accredited program in veterinary technology' to remove redundant language.
TECHNICAL
Updated header information to reflect the current legislative session (January 7, 2025) and corrected formatting inconsistencies.
Adjusted the number of new sections to be enacted from nine to ten, though the actual text of the sections appears unchanged.
DEFINITION
Corrected typos in definitions of 'Accredited college of veterinary medicine' and 'Accredited program in veterinary technology' to remove duplicated words like 'Approved' and 'an'.
Reordered and renumbered definition items in section 43-29-01.1 to fix numbering inconsistencies between the first engrossment and enrollment versions.
