The world of legislative affairs is constantly producing new challenges and perils
at either - or both - the national and state levels. As a result, this is why organized
opticianry at all levels can never afford a laissez-faire attitude to the political
world around us.
As an example during the current legislative session in Georgia, the Secretary of State introduced a bill to establish a 7 member consumer (only) super board that would oversee the state’s 43 licensing boards, and relegate the existing boards to advisory status. As many would attest from personal experience, most of us recognize ironing boards as being more useful than most advisory boards!
