The committee approved a legislative package to consolidate continuing-education rules into a single article, allow limited continuing-education (CE) credit for registered veterinary technicians (RVTs) who perform pro bono spay/neuter services and for exam workshop participation, and to clarify CE provider and course language.
The Medical Device Committee of the California Veterinary Medical Board approved a legislative proposal to repeal two existing continuing-education statutes and replace them with a single, reorganized article intended to simplify and clarify CE requirements for veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians (RVTs).

The package includes provisions that would let RVTs earn up to two hours of CE for performing pro bono animal-health tasks linked to spay/neuter services and allow up to 16 hours for participating as an expert in national exam preparation workshops. The proposal also moves much of the detailed regulatory language into a single statutory framework so future rulemaking can eliminate duplicative regulations.
