H 105 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

VETERINARY PRACTICES – Amends existing law to revise a provision related to veterinary medical practice ownership.

This bill (H 105) revises Idaho law governing veterinary practice ownership. It allows not-for-profit corporations to own property at veterinary facilities or animal shelters, provided that actively licensed veterinarians make all decisions about patient diagnosis, care, and treatment. The change directly affects veterinary practices and not-for-profit organizations seeking to own facility property. The law maintains that only specific entities - like sole proprietorships, partnerships, or professional entities - can operate veterinary practices, while prohibiting standard business corporations from doing so. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2025.
