(a) How the amendment will change this existing administrative regulation:
Updating statutory references to conform with the new Kentucky Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, KRS Chapter 312; adding clarifying definitions, clarifying that eligible animal shelters should have a mission to support the county or municipality with their in animal control needs, and clarifying that animal shelters eligible for a KBVE certificate do not include the handling, management, and transport of wildlife, because wildlife management falls under the scope of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

Changes are necessary to conform with the new Kentucky Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, KRS Chapter 312.
