Rep. Raymond introduces bill to loosen rules on sale of veterinary practices
Summary
Representative Gerald Raymond introduced RS 32079 to remove statutory limits on whom a practicing veterinarian may sell their practice, citing a request from the Idaho Veterinary Medical Association and current constraints in Title 30, Chapter 21.
Representative Gerald Raymond introduced RS 32079 on behalf of concerns raised by the Idaho Veterinary Medical Association, saying current state statute limits to whom a practicing veterinarian may sell a practice and that constraint "has become problematic in the industry in the state of Idaho." Raymond said the proposal strikes language from current statute to give veterinarians more flexibility in selecting buyers.
The bill, Raymond said, is tied to existing language in Title 30, Chapter 21 (sections noted in the presentation as sections 9 and 1). Raymond asked the committee to introduce the bill and offered to bring additional research and a hearing if the committee desired. Representative Garner moved to introduce the measure; the committee approved the introduction by voice vote.
No formal amendments, fiscal impacts or scheduled hearing date were recorded on the transcript. Committee members did not debate the substance of RS 32079 on the floor after the introduction, and no formal vote on final passage was taken at the meeting.
Ending: The measure was introduced for committee consideration and will proceed through the committee process; further details and any hearing schedule were not specified in the transcript.
