SB 142 restricts who can use the title "veterinary technician" in South Dakota by amending the state's veterinary licensing law. The bill changes existing requirements in state law (§24-11-13) to prohibit certain individuals from calling themselves veterinary technicians, likely those who lack proper credentials or training. This protects the veterinary technician title as exclusive to qualified, licensed professionals.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
