Registered veterinary technicians in California must now complete 20 hours of CE in the two years prior to applying for renewal of their state license. The new rule places a four-hour limit on self-study programs.
The veterinary board also adopted a new rule requiring all veterinarian and veterinary technicians to submit fingerprints to the Department of Justice for a criminal offender record information search. All veterinary licensees must now disclose any disciplinary actions before renewal, and criminal history information must be reported to the board within 30 days.
