AZ HB2368

Expands the definition of "malpractice," "gross incompetence," and "gross negligence" in veterinary practice to include failure to provide animal owners or caretakers with all medically relevant information about an animal's health to enable fully informed decisions about treatment.

Adds two new forms of unprofessional conduct: failing to provide veterinary records or copies of radiographs to animal owners or other veterinarians within 10 days of request (or sooner if medically necessary), and making false statements or altering documents concerning an animal's medical treatment.

Creates a private right of action in superior court for persons in a veterinarian-client-patient relationship against veterinarians who fail to fully disclose all information about an animal's medical condition, resulting in the person seeking additional veterinary care.
