Board of Optometry rule relating to continuing education
SB 354 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Optometry to implement a specific rule about continuing education requirements for optometrists. The bill formally approves a previously developed rule (identified as 14 CSR 10) that the Board modified to address legislative committee feedback. This rule directly affects licensed optometrists in West Virginia, requiring them to complete continuing education to maintain their licenses. The bill itself does not change the content of the continuing education requirements but grants the Board the legal authority to enforce them.
