SB 613 aims to regulate veterinary medicine practices more stringently by revising definitions, strengthening prohibitions against non-veterinary entities controlling veterinary services, and increasing the civil penalties for violations. It clarifies prohibited practices such as contracts that interfere with a veterinarian's professional judgment or impose restrictions on competition and communication. The bill also mandates that all business entities providing veterinary services have licensed veterinarians as owners or partners. Additionally, it raises the maximum civil penalty for violations to $5,000 per day and allows prevailing district or county attorneys to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and court cost
