Bill > SB186

This bill clarifies that individuals applying for an optometrist license or seeking to reinstate their license must pass all parts of the required examination, and it removes the State Board of Examiners in Optometry's responsibility for administering these exams, shifting that duty to an as-yet-undefined requirement. It also establishes a new limit, preventing the Board from placing a licensee on inactive status for more than six consecutive years, which is a status that allows a professional to temporarily pause their practice without fully surrendering their license.
