SUCCESS in the TX LEGISLATURE!

Yesterday HB 1951 was passed, which contains an amendment prohibiting insurance plans from forcing OD's to accept a vision plan in order to participate in the medical plan. This is a HUGE SUCCESS for our grassroots efforts and hard-working L&L committee! After the bill is signed by the governor, Texas will be the first state with this legislative protection! THANK YOU to all who contributing their time, resources, and efforts!
