What it does

This bill would establish consumer price transparency requirements for veterinary care facilities. The bill would require such facilities to disclose standard charges and price ranges for commonly offered services, provide written or electronic estimates for certain higher-cost services upon request, and provide itemized receipts. The bill would also require the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) to establish and maintain a publicly accessible website to display aggregated average prices for common veterinary procedures.
