Maryland HB380 modifies optometry licensure requirements, including examination and inactive status provisions.
Maryland HB380 revises the State Board of Examiners in Optometry's examination and inactive status rules. It mandates that applicants for reinstatement must pass all sections of each part of a licensure examination. The bill repeals the requirement for the Board to administer examinations to licensure applicants and eliminates the reexamination fee. It prohibits the Board from placing a licensee on inactive status for more than a specified period. The Board may issue a license to an individual on inactive status if they meet continuing education requirements and pay a reinstatement fee.
