The
Board of Veterinary Examiners is staffed by the Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional Licensing. The board consists of four
veterinarians and one public member. Board members
are
appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Legislature.
The board adopts regulations
to carry out laws governing veterinary practice in
Alaska. It makes final licensing decisions and takes
disciplinary
actions against people who violate licensing laws.
The board meets three times a year and offers a
public
comment period at each meeting. Meeting agendas and
minutes are available from the licensing
examiner and
will be posted to this website once prepared.

Statutes and Regulations
Alaska Statutes are passed
by the legislature. Regulations (also called the Alaska
Administrative Code) are rules adopted by the board
to implement, interpret, and make specific the statutes.
Both statutes and regulations have the force of law.
AS 08.98 and regulations
12 AAC 68 specifically govern veterinary practice. AS
08.01 - 08.03 and regulations 12 AAC 02 apply to all
professions regulated by the division.
Proposed regulations are
advertised in Alaska newspapers and we invite public
comment on them. If you would like to receive notice
of proposed regulations, please write to the regulations
specialist and request that your name be added to the
Veterinary interested parties list. Please advise us
if you move or wish your name removed from the mailing
list.
