Summary

Amends the Illinois Optometric Practice Act of 1987. Replaces the requirement for licensees to apply for additional licenses in order to practice optometry at more than one address with the new requirement that licensees report to the Department every additional location where the licensee engages in the practice of optometry. Provides that failure to report a practice location or registering a location where a licensee does not practice constitutes a violation of the Act. In a provision concerning license renewal, provides that all licensees on March 31, 2010 without a certification of completion of an oral pharmaceutical course as required by the Act shall be placed on non-renewed status and may only be renewed after the licensee meets those requirements established by the Department. Provides that licensees may apply for expungement from their disciplinary record any offense relating to the failure to complete continuing education requirements, the failure to have an ancillary license, or the failure to report a practice location if they meet certain conditions. Repeals a Section concerning limited optometry licenses. Makes other changes.
