Resolution in Support of Veterinary Telehealth Modernization Principles

WHEREAS, laws and regulations should allow veterinarians to practice the full extent of their professional training and expertise through telehealth;

WHEREAS, all veterinarians should be free to deliver telehealth services;

WHEREAS, clients should be able to access telehealth services for their animals from licensed veterinarians in other states;

WHEREAS, no laws or regulations should require a client and patient to meet a veterinarian in-person before they receive a telehealth service;

WHEREAS, regulations should avoid subdividing the provision of telehealth services into regulatory classifications (such as tele-triage, tele-advice, tele-consultation, etc.) and avoid dictating other overly prescriptive practices that may grow obsolete quickly;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that [STATE] supports the enactment and/or repeal of laws and regulations consistent with these principles.
