Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act: Major Victory for AVMA, Profession

August 28, 2014 — 

The AVMA is elated to announce that President Obama has signed into law the long-awaited Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act, making it legal for veterinarians to provide complete medical care to their animal patients beyond their clinics and across state lines. By passing and signing this legislation, our legislators and the president recognize the critical role veterinarians play in treating sick animals and relieving their pain and suffering. Major kudos to the staff at the AVMA's Governmental Relations Division for their tireless efforts in getting this bill passed, and to the AVMA membership for your continued support on this important issue. AVMA developed an FAQ to help you understand more about the new law.
