Given the recently declared public health emergency in the State of Florida, the recent guidance from the CDC, the fact that at least 2 classes of veterinary medicine students will be graduating in Florida within this calendar year that are applying for licensure and will otherwise be required to take a laws and rules course in person prior to licensure, the Board finds that this constitutes an immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare, and thus, necessitates immediate action to mitigate this issue. Notice of this emergency meeting was published in the Florida Administrative Register in Volume 46, No. 58 on March 24, 2020. In addition, notice of the Board’s emergency meeting was posted on the Board’s official website.
