legitimate relief effort during the emergency period (at what disaster
facility are you intending to practice in Louisiana, and please keep the
Board office current on this information); and
3. the veterinarian must practice in
good faith, and within the reasonable scope of his skills, training, and
ability.
B. The authority provided for in this
shall cease on October 25, 2005, unless the Executive Order is renewed,
modified, or extended, or earlier rescinded by the Governor.
C. All out of state licensed
veterinarians shall submit a copy of their respective licenses and
