Vet mobility act passes

Congress has passed the Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act and President Obama is expected to sign the legislation.

The new law – sponsored by Congressmen Kurt Schrader of Oregon and Ted Yoho of Florida, both veterinarians, allows vets to transport and use controlled substances away from their businesses.  It also lets vets register in multiple states no matter where their business is located.

A narrow interpretation of the Controlled Substances Act by the Drug Enforcement Administration put some veterinarians at risk of operating outside the law.

UPDATE:  President Obama signed the bill into law August 1, 2014
