It got to the point that when the College of Optometry phoned and asked to meet, the government rep said that she would meet as long as full freedom of association was part of their proposal. She didn't want to and didn't meet with them until they satisfied her minimum requirement. I guess it had gone on way too long for her and she had lost patience. I believe the government told the College of Optometry many years ago to change their statute.
Now we will be able to have a business model that puts the customer first and is legal.
Iris certainly helped the situation but there was nothing on the books to make their business model legal until April 15th.
