Relating to the regulation of certain transactions and activities involving the provision of veterinary services; authorizing civil penalties; creating criminal offenses.

SB 2130 regulates transactions involving private equity ownership of veterinary practices in Texas. It targets private equity companies (defined as firms collecting capital to invest in assets without investor redemption rights) that acquire or change control of veterinary services providers. The bill creates new rules for these transactions, authorizes civil penalties for violations, and establishes criminal offenses for serious breaches. It directly affects private equity firms seeking to purchase veterinary practices and the veterinary service providers operating under such ownership. The law aims to regulate consolidation in the veterinary services sector through defined transaction standards and enforcement mechanisms.
