Retail sales and use tax; exemption for medicine and drugs purchased by veterinarians. Exempts veterinarians from sales and use tax on the purchase of prescription medicines and drugs that are administered or dispensed to patients within a veterinarian-client-patient relationship.

The bill provides that the exemption shall be in effect from July 1, 2022, until July 1, 2025. This bill is identical to HB 551.
