HB 1033 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Sunset; State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners; extending sunset year.

HB 1033 extends the expiration date of the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2026, under Oklahoma's Sunset Law. The bill ensures the board continues operating to regulate veterinary practice, enforce the Oklahoma Veterinary Practice Act, and protect public health and safety. This routine procedural update affects the board's administrative timeline but does not change its regulatory responsibilities or the requirements for veterinary practitioners. The bill became law on April 29, 2025, without the Governor's signature.
