Intent.

It is the intent of the legislature that the veterinary board of governors seek ways to identify and support the rehabilitation of veterinarians who have a health condition that may impair their ability to practice. The legislature intends that these veterinarians be treated so that they can return to or continue to practice veterinary medicine safely and competently. The legislature specifically intends that the veterinary board of governors establish an alternate program to the traditional administrative proceedings against such veterinarians.
In lieu of disciplinary action under RCW 18.130.160 and if the veterinary board of governors determines that the unprofessional conduct may be the result of an impairing health condition, the veterinary board of governors may refer the license holder to a monitoring program.
