Nebraska Legislature Advances Ultrasound Viewing Bill
The Nebraska Legislature on Wednesday voted to advance a bill (L.B. 675) that would require abortion providers who perform ultrasounds on women seeking the procedure to tell women that a view of the fetus will be available and display the screen in a way that the image can be easily seen, the AP/Lincoln Journal Star reports. The bill also would require the state to compile a list of clinics that offer no-cost ultrasound services. State Sen. Brenda Council (D) criticized that particular provision, saying it would force the state Department of Health and Human Services to spend more taxpayer money.Lawmakers advanced the bill by voice vote after approving an amendment to clarify language surrounding the qualifications of health professionals performing ultrasounds. Advocates for the bill claim it would provide more information to women seeking abortion procedures, while opponents of the bill argue that it would allow the government to interfere in a private procedure. The bill faces a final vote before going to Gov. Dave Heineman (R). If the bill becomes law, Nebraska would join more than a dozen states that have similar laws, the AP/Journal Star reports (Ortiz, AP/Lincoln Journal Star, 5/27).

Continuing efforts to help its members form lasting and profitable partnerships and pre-empt disputes in veterinary practice, the British Veterinary Association (BVA) has revised its "Guide to partnerships in veterinary practice". It will be of particular interest to vets buying into a partnership for the first time and will also be helpful to partners revising their existing agreement. The lack of a formal agreement between veterinary practice partners could have detrimental consequences for everyone concerned. This guide therefore aims to draw attention to the areas which should be included as part of an agreement between partners to help reduce misunderstandings at a later date. Available to download, the Guide includes sections on - decision making and authority - profits and losses - salaried partners - good faith - capital assets - insurance - tax and accounts - dissolution - outgoing partners" undrawn profits and capital - death - power of attorney - disputes and arbitration - and more Launching the Guide, Andrew Parker, chair of the BVA Members" Services Group, said "I think this is an example of the hard work and commitment that the BVA is making to its members. It is a very good starting point with good advice for someone embarking on a major change in their working life." The Guide is available for BVA members to download. British Veterinary Association
