Maryland · HO · §§ 11-101 to 11-602 · 48 sections

Overview

This act regulates the practice of optometry, creating a state optometry board as the licensing and oversight authority and defining who falls within the chapter's reach and who is exempt. It sets out the board's composition, member eligibility and terms, officers, conflict-of-interest and removal rules, staffing, and meeting and training requirements, and grants it authority to adopt rules, set and apply fees, issue licenses, and address matters such as optometrists' use of pharmaceutical agents and limits on restrictions of advertising or competitive bidding. On the enforcement side it establishes complaint handling, inspection of premises and review of records, legal representation and alternative dispute resolution procedures, along with recordkeeping, public-interest information duties, and a sunset provision governing the agency's continuation.
