Prescription Monitoring Program - SSB 6105
Substitute Senate Bill 6105 (2012) was signed into law on March 29, 2012. The bill requires the department in collaboration with the
Veterinary Board of Governors to establish alternative data reporting requirements for veterinarians reporting to the
Prescription Monitoring Program.
Veterinarians are required to report to the Prescription Monitoring Program until June 7, 2012. We encourage continued reporting until the permanent rule is adopted.
State law creates new veterinary technician rules related to practical experience.
