ND SB2116

Increases the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners from three to five members, with all appointed by the governor for three-year staggered terms.

Requires the board to consist of three veterinarians, one veterinary technician, and one public representative, with all members needing five years of in-state practice or residency experience.

Directs the governor to appoint veterinarians with diverse practices: one focused on large animals, one on small animals, and one on both.

Establishes strict qualifications for the public representative, including that they must never have been a veterinarian, veterinary technician, or spouse of either, and cannot have financial interests in veterinary services.

Changes removal grounds from "misconduct, incapacity, or neglect of duty" to "cause," requiring due notice and hearing.
