Under existing law, termination dates are established for enumerated state agencies. The agencies are periodically reviewed by the Alabama Sunset Committee. After the review process is completed, the committee prepares its recommendation for the agencies to the Legislature in the form of sunset bills which either continue, terminate, or continue with modification each agency reviewed. This bill would provide for the continuance of the Alabama Board of Optometry until October 1, 2029, with the following changes: To further provide for the issuance of a limited license; to increase the per diem paid to board members; to permit multiple methods of board communication with licensees; to remove the secretary's registry's status as the official book of records; and to create the Alabama Board of Optometry Fund in the State Treasury and provide for the fund's operation.
