An act relating to rabies vaccination certificate requirements for domestic pet or wolf-hybrid licensure

This bill requires dog and wolf-hybrid owners in Vermont to submit rabies vaccination certificates to their municipal clerk when applying for an animal license. The law mandates that veterinarians provide these certificates to the clerk every 30 days and specifies that the documents must include the veterinarian's signature, owner information, animal details, and vaccination expiration date. Municipal clerks will maintain these records on file, while owners must keep their own copies and present them to officials upon request. The changes take effect on July 1, 2023, and apply to all dogs and wolf-hybrids six months of age or older.
