MARVIN MANDEL, Governor

deletion throughout this section and a
reference to "veterinary practitioner" is
added. The legislature probably intended
to refer to a veterinarian who is licensed
and registered in the State since §2—308
requires a licensed veterinarian to
register annually. The term "veterinary
practitioner" refers to a licensed and
registered veterinarian; See §2-301(j).
The only other changes made are in style.
