Vermont Optometry Practice Act

Vermont · Professions and Occupations · §§ 26-1701 to 26-1728b · 28 sections

Overview

This act regulates the practice of optometry, requiring a license to practice and establishing a state optometry board with defined membership qualifications, terms, and removal procedures, along with its powers and duties. It sets the pathways to licensure — by examination and by endorsement of credentials from elsewhere — together with renewal requirements, fees, and exemptions for those who need not be licensed under it. It also defines unprofessional conduct and provides penalties for violations, and authorizes licensed optometrists to use therapeutic pharmaceutical agents in treating patients.
