I believe that David Senjem is a state senator in the Minnesota legislature, so not likely to become national law. I thought than in some states it was legal for an optician to replace glasses based on an existing pair, but I am not sure about that.
Also, the state senator has already backed off his original idea:"The Minnesota Optometric Association and Senjem are teaming up to come up with a compromise that will likely allow an optometrist or physician to prescribe emergency eyeglass replacements, but not opticians and eyeglass retailers, the paper says."
