OK SB1677

Creates the "Veterinary Telemedicine for Livestock Care Act" allowing licensed veterinarians to use electronic communications to evaluate, diagnose, and treat livestock (cattle, bison, swine, sheep, goats, equine, and poultry) when in-person examination is not immediately feasible

Permits telemedicine only when the livestock condition requires timely attention to prevent death, serious harm, or unnecessary suffering, and when visual or verbal communication provides sufficient information for professional judgment

Allows veterinarian-client-patient relationships (VCPR) to be established through telemedicine, with encounters documented in medical records the same as in-person consultations

Prohibits telemedicine as a substitute for annual herd health inspections, vaccinations, or procedures requiring physical presence unless approved by the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners

Directs the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners to promulgate rules on telemedicine standards, recordkeeping, training certification, and medication prescribing limitations; declared an emergency to take effect immediately upon passage
