This bill creates two new professional licenses in Kentucky: one for equine dentistry and one for animal chiropractic care. It also establishes an advisory board to oversee these licenses and makes related updates to existing veterinary records rules. This matters to Kentuckians because it sets formal standards for who can legally perform these specialized animal health services. Who it may affect: people who provide equine dental or animal chiropractic services, horse owners, and pet owners who use these services.
