Bill overview
This bill clarifies the requirements for establishing a veterinarian-client-patient relationship in Michigan. It mandates that veterinarians engage in veterinary medicine only within this established relationship, which must involve a clinical judgment regarding an animal's health and the owner's agreement to follow treatment instructions. The bill allows for telehealth examinations under specific conditions, with limitations on prescribing medications without an in-person examination for certain animals and controlled substances.
