AI Summary
- Requires veterinary license applicants in Georgia to have passed a board-approved examination as a prerequisite for licensure, rather than being admitted to an examination after the board reviews qualifications
- Allows the board to waive part of the licensing examination for veterinarians already licensed and in good standing in another state, moving this waiver provision from the post-application review stage to the initial application requirements
- Removes the provision allowing senior veterinary students to sit for the examination before graduating at the board's discretion
- Transfers the duty to record new licenses and issue certificates of registration from the post-examination process to the application and approval stage under the division director
- Simplifies veterinary technician examination requirements by replacing detailed scheduling, preparation, and grading rules with a single provision that the board shall approve a competency examination and set a passing score by rule or regulation
