(a) Veterinary medicine, including veterinary medicine practiced remotely by electronic means, shall be practiced only in or from a veterinary medical facility that is registered with the board or that is exempted by rule from the registration requirement. Unless exempted by this section or by board rule adopted pursuant to this section, every individual facility must be registered with the board.

(b) Subsection (a) does not apply to a facility maintained or operated by the federal government.

(c) A mobile facility affiliated with a registered veterinary medical facility is exempt from separate registration if identified in the application for registration filed pursuant to this subchapter.

(d) The board may by rule provide exemptions to the registration requirement for facilities if it determines that imposing or enforcing the requirement:

(1) is not cost-effective for the board;

(2) is not feasible with current board resources or standards; or

(3) will not substantially benefit or protect consumers.
