251-8 Wyo. Code R. §§ 8-6 - Emergency Relief License

During a public health emergency declared by the Governor, a license that lapsed due to non-renewal may be emergently reactivated. The application shall be reviewed by the executive director or his designee, who shall have sole discretion whether to approve the application. If the application is denied, it will be deemed converted to an application for regular licensure under Chapter 8, Section 4 of these rules. There is no fee for this application or license, and the emergently reactivated license shall automatically expire upon the termination of the public health emergency. A veterinarian wishing to practice after the end of the emergency reactivation granted under this subsection shall follow the application process set forth in Chapter 8, Section 4 of these rules before doing so.

(a) The following eligibility criteria shall be met for approval of emergency reactivation of a license under this subsection:

(i) The veterinarian shall submit an application on a form provided by the board;

(ii) The veterinarian held a full, unrestricted license to practice veterinary medicine in any United States jurisdiction within the last five (5) years immediately preceding the application; and

(iii) The Board's executive director shall verify that the veterinarian's license(s) have not been revoked, surrendered in lieu of discipline, suspended, or otherwise terminated in any state, territory, or district of the United States.

(b) Veterinarians deputized by the state veterinarian are not required to hold a license and shall serve at the pleasure of and be supervised by the state veterinarian.
