KY HB173

Authorizes licensed veterinary technicians to administer rabies vaccinations to dogs, cats, and ferrets when under direct supervision of a veterinarian located on the premises

Adds a statutory definition of "veterinary technician" to Kentucky's rabies vaccination laws, referencing KRS 321.181

Requires vaccination certificates to be signed by the veterinarian, even when a veterinary technician administers the vaccine

Updates the definition of "veterinarian" to reference KRS 321.181 rather than using a standalone definition

Maintains existing requirements that dogs, cats, and ferrets must be initially vaccinated by age 4 months and revaccinated at expiration of the immunization period
