MO HB1814

Expands veterinary authority to allow legally registered veterinarians to compound, administer, and prescribe legend drugs (drugs requiring prescriptions under 21 U.S.C. Section 353) for use only in animals, mirroring existing authority for physicians and dentists.

Adds definition of "veterinarian" to statute as a person with a doctor's degree in veterinary medicine from an accredited school or holding an Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (EDFVG) certificate from the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Increases Board of Pharmacy's advisory committee membership from five to six members and adds one licensed veterinarian (recommended by the Board of Veterinary Medicine) to review and recommend rules on veterinary legend drugs.

Clarifies that Class L veterinary pharmacy permits do not prohibit veterinarians from compounding, administering, prescribing, or dispensing their own prescriptions or medicines for animals.

Specifies throughout statute that legend drugs are defined as those under 21 U.S.C. Section 353 and exempts non-legend animal drugs from pharmacy permitting requirements.
