§ 4886 License Reinstatement Conditions

Key Takeaways

  • •If your vet or vet tech license was taken away, you can get it back, but with rules.
  • •You might have to take extra classes or tests to prove you're still good at your job.
  • •The board can make you see a doctor to check if you're healthy enough to work.
  • •They can also limit what kind of vet work you're allowed to do after getting your license back.

Example

A vet had their license taken away for making mistakes during surgeries. They want to get their license back.

The board might say the vet has to take extra surgery training, pass a big test, and only do simple check-ups for a while—not surgeries—before they can fully work as a vet again.
