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.

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.
