Veterinary licensing requirements in Utah currently require applicants to complete a supervised practice period of "at least six months" before they can be licensed, whether that practice happens under a Utah-licensed veterinarian, in another state, through government employment, or through equivalent educational or investigational work. This bill would replace that six-month standard with a requirement of at least 1,000 hours of supervised practice, applying the same hours-based threshold across all four qualifying pathways.
