1 12 NEW SUBSECTION. 10. A person who provides veterinary
1 13 medical services, owns a veterinary clinic, or practices in
1 14 this state shall obtain a certificate from the board and be
1 15 subject to the same standards of conduct, as provided in this
1 16 chapter and rules adopted by the board, as apply to a licensed
1 17 veterinarian, unless the board determines that the same
1 18 standards of conduct are inapplicable. The board shall issue,
1 19 renew, or deny a certificate; adopt rules relating to the
1 20 standards of conduct; and take disciplinary action against the
1 21 person, including suspension or revocation of a certificate,
1 22 in accordance with the procedures established in section
1 23 169.14. Certification fees shall be established by the board
1 24 pursuant to section 169.5, subsection 9, paragraph "j". Fees
1 25 shall be established in an amount sufficient to fully offset
1 26 the costs of certification pursuant to this subsection. For
1 27 the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2001, and ending June 30,
1 28 2002, the department shall retain fees collected to administer
1 29 the program of certifying veterinary clinics and the fees
1 30 retained are appropriated to the department for the purposes
1 31 of this subsection. For the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1 32 2001, and ending June 30, 2002, notwithstanding section 8.33,
1 33 fees which remain unexpended at the end of the fiscal year
1 34 shall not revert to the general fund of the state but shall be
1 35 available for use for the following fiscal year to administer
2 1 the program. For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2002, and
2 2 succeeding fiscal years, certification fees shall be deposited
2 3 in the general fund of the state and are appropriated to the
2 4 department to administer the certification provisions of this
2 5 subsection. This subsection shall not apply to an animal
2 6 shelter, as defined in section 162.2, that provides veterinary
2 7 medical services to animals in the custody of the shelter.
2 8 Sec. 2. CERTIFICATION PROGRAM REPORT. The board of
2 9 veterinary medicine shall, prior to the implementation of the
2 10 veterinary clinic certification program pursuant to section 1
2 11 of this Act, submit a report to the general assembly prior to
2 12 January 1, 2001, regarding the status of the board's
2 13 development of the certification program. The report shall
2 14 include the criteria to be used for certification, the methods
2 15 and procedures to be used in the certification process, the
2 16 anticipated cost of operating the certification program, the
2 17 estimated certification fee to be charged each clinic, and the
2 18 general manner of implementation of the program.
