MODERATE
The bill was significantly rewritten to remove references to veterinary medical doctor shortages and the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine, while consolidating funding into a single appropriation for the Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. The original bill included $10 million for veterinary education and $3.5 million for the diagnostic lab, but the A-Engrossed version only appropriates $3.5 million specifically for zoonotic disease and chronic wasting disease research.
Scope change
The bill's scope narrowed from supporting both veterinary education programs and the diagnostic laboratory to exclusively funding the Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for specific disease research.
