Governor Hobbs signs telemedicine bill (Senate Bill 1053) -- NOT IN EFFECT YET :
On May 8, 2023, Governor Hobbs signed SB1053, which allows a VCPR to be established by electronic means in many circumstances and if certain requirements are met. This does not apply to animals used in commercial food production. This bill is NOT in effect; like most legislative bills, it will become effective 90 days after the end of the current legislative session. The legislature is still in session.
ATTENTION POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS: New graduates who have not passed the NAVLE are NOT eligible for provisional licenses and may NOT provide services required of a veterinarian!
License/Certificate Renewals:
All licenses and certificates carried an expiration date of 12/31/2022! If you missed that deadline, your license/certificate has LAPSED! If you are a veterinarian, you should not be providing veterinary services in Arizona until you request a "reinstatement" application.
Please see the Renewal page for more information.
