Desperate need for additional veterinary care in Franklin County.
 

I am a foster and volunteer at Franklin County Humane Society (FCHS) and I support changing the regulation for veterinary practice, as specified in this bill, from 2 years to 1 year. There is a several-month wait for getting veterinary care in this region and the animals served by FCHS deserve better. We cannot spay & neuter pets as efficiently as needed with the current regulations and this means more unwanted & unnecessary litters. We believe that changing the regulations slightly will significantly help remedy this problem.
