AN ACT relating to a veterinary medicine program at Murray State University.

This bill would change state law to allow Murray State University to offer a doctoral degree in veterinary medicine, which is the degree required to become a licensed veterinarian. Currently, state law limits the types of doctoral degrees Murray State can offer, and this change would create an exception for the veterinary medicine field. Who it may affect: students pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, rural communities that rely on local access to veterinarians, and Murray State University.
