ISVMA Advocacy:

In an effort to increase public value and awareness of the education and skills of Illinois licensed veterinary professionals, a new law, HB 3360, requires both DVMs and CVTs publicly display their licenses or a copy of their licenses in their office or clinic similar to the requirement of other Illinois health care license holders.  Licensees may mark out their address.
