This is a premises licensing problem. Rettler's premises license for Healthy Pet expired.
She was supposedly sent a notification. Two years later we're told Rettler allegedly tried
to renew online but couldn't find a form to do so; at this time she was told that her
premises license had expired two years ago. The Board voted to open an investigation;
Rettler allegedly renewed her premises license just a few days later.
Rettler's response is rather short and to-the-point. She says that she didn't even know
the license had lapsed until she tried to renew it. She thought she mailed in January of
2019 during the grade period but says that maybe she misplaced it or sent it to the wrong
address. However, she was under the impression her license was current the whole time.
The Board required Rettler to take four hours of continuing education in ethics and four
hours of continuing education in "Regulation of the Profession," along with paying $1000
as a civil penalty. This case eventually develops until 22-94, and while I won't spoil
the surprise, it involves a claim of a "missing" 13th Amendment to the Constitution that
abolishes all titles of nobility and makes the state veterinary board unconstitutional.
A.R.S. § 32-2232(18) violating o attempting to violate, directly or indirectly, or assisting or abetting the violation or conspiracy to violate any of the provisions of this chapter, a rule adopted by, the Board or a written order of the Board.
