Bill No. 1819 amends Section 587 of Title 59 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to optometry examinations and licensing fees. The bill increases the maximum annual license fee for practicing optometrists from $300 to $500. Additionally, it maintains that the examination fees will be set by the Board of Examiners in Optometry, with a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $200. The bill also outlines the process for revoking licenses due to non-payment of fees and specifies that the Board will manage a revolving fund for collected fees, which will not be subject to fiscal year limitations.

Furthermore, the bill removes references to the "Board of Examiners" and "Board of Optometry" in several instances, streamlining the language used in the statute. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025.
