Requires annual inspections of certain veterinary facilities.
This bill requires all veterinary facilities in New Jersey - including hospitals, clinics, and mobile units - to register with the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners and undergo mandatory annual inspections. These inspections must occur yearly and cannot be fulfilled by existing complaint-based checks. The law applies to any location where veterinary medicine is practiced, ensuring consistent oversight beyond current regulatory requirements. The bill takes effect 180 days after enactment.
