Ohio House Bill 95 is in the process of being passed. Contained in this bill is language that will combine the Ohio Board of Optometry with the Ohio Board of Opticianry ! This is not a hoax, it is for real ! It will be know as the "Ohio Vision Board". Don't think for a moment that optcians stand a chance of being represented fairly on such a board.
Senators on the Ohio Finance and Financial Institution Committee are:
Ron Amstutz
David Goodman
John Carey
Bill Harris
Jay Hottinger
Kevin Coughlin
Randy gardner
Eric Fingerhut
Mark Mallory
Ray Miller
CJ Prentiss
The vote on this bill is April 23. E-mail your senator today. The passage of this bill as it is now written, means an end of a voice for opticianry, and possibly, the end of opticianry.
If you have any questions, call your local association, or contact the Opticans Association of Ohio @ (800) 661-5367. Ask what you can do.
