Regulations on the title of Veterinary Technician
 

In other border states their are regulations governing the use of the title Veterinary Technician and Licensed Veterinary Technician. Use of either by an indvidual not licensed by the board is a misdemeanor offense in several states. The public could be mislead about the credentials of an idividual by use of just the title Veterinary Technician. Will the board adopt a similar regulation or rule? Are there reports of how many individuals the board has sanctioned for practicing without a license?
