The bill amends R.S. 37:1042(D)(2) concerning the qualifications of members of the Louisiana State Board of Optometry Examiners. Specifically, it stipulates that no board member may hold an elected or appointed position in an optometry professional association that is domiciled in Louisiana during their term on the board. However, the bill clarifies that this restriction does not prevent board members from holding positions in associations for regulatory boards of optometry.

This change aims to ensure that board members maintain impartiality and avoid conflicts of interest while serving on the board. The inclusion of the term "domiciled in Louisiana" specifies the geographic scope of the restriction, thereby enhancing the clarity of the qualifications for board membership.
