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

This bill would 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 a specific exception for veterinary medicine programs. Who it may affect: students pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, rural Kentuckians who rely on veterinarians for livestock and agricultural needs, and Murray State University faculty and administration.
