HB 2992 expands the existing Rural Veterinarian Incentive Program to include veterinarians practicing shelter medicine. It renames the program the "Rural and Shelter Veterinarian Incentive Program" and adds high-volume spay and neuter clinics as eligible practice sites. The bill broadens eligibility for financial support under the program, allowing communities with qualifying veterinary clinics to sponsor participants. Additionally, it modifies the composition of the program’s oversight committee, requiring the inclusion of two shelter medicine practitioners. Participants receiving financial support must commit to working in rural counties or high-volume spay and neuter clinics.
