TO: | Honorable Lois W. Kolkhorst, Chair, House Committee on Public Health |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB675 by Bonnen (Relating to a retired status license for an optometrist or therapeutic optometrist practicing voluntary charity care.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would allow the Texas Optometry Board, by rule, to allow a licensee to apply to the board to have a license placed on retired status. The bill would require a license holder on retired status to pay a license renewal fee in an amount equal to the renewal fee for a license on inactive status.
Based on the analysis of the Texas Optometry Board, it is assumed any costs and duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
