Congressman Cory Mills introduced the Practitioner Enforcement and Tracking of Substances Act (PETS Act), legislation aimed at strengthening Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) compliance for veterinarians and improving transparency and accountability in the dispensing of controlled substances.
Require veterinarians to comply with Prescription Drug Monitoring Program consultation and reporting requirements when prescribing controlled substances, and expand federal reporting standards for veterinary controlled substances and non-fatal overdose events.

Evidence
The official site’s latest news item says Mills introduced the PETS Act, aimed at strengthening PDMP compliance for veterinarians and improving transparency and accountability in dispensing controlled substances.
Assessments
Mills appears to have made a concrete legislative attempt by introducing the PETS Act to strengthen veterinarian PDMP compliance and improve controlled-substance transparency, but the evidence does not show enactment or the broader expansion of federal reporting for veterinary controlled substances and non-fatal overdose events. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
