BILL NUMBER: S3959

SPONSOR: BROOKS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to estab-
lishing Buoy's law relating to requiring veterinarians to notify owners
of potential risks and side effects of medication prior to prescribing
or otherwise providing medication to an animal

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation would require veterinarians to notify owners in writing
of any and all side effects of prescribed medications.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. names this legislation "Buoy's Law"

Section 2. amends the agriculture and markets law by adding a new
section 381 requiring notification of side effects for prescribed medi-

cation to animals

Section 3. is the enacting clause

 
JUSTIFICATION:

This legislation will allow pet owners to make informed decisions before
giving prescribed medication to their much loved animals. Buoy was a
young dog who died as a result of being given a prescribed medication.
His owner was uninformed of the potential side effects of this
prescribed medication which had caused his untimely death. Pet owners
deserve to have all available information regarding potential side
effects of prescribed medications for their pets. This legislation may
prevent similar tragedies from happening again.

Veterinarians are already provided this information about the possible
side effects of medications from pharmaceutical manufacturers. This
legislation would require veterinarians to pass along this information
to the pet owners. Just as parents are able to make informed decisions
about medications for their children, pet owners should be able to make
informed decisions about medications for their pets.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect one-hundred and eighty days after it shall
have become law.
