Proponent
Todd Fleischer stated that HB2736 provides needed liability protection to ensure that optometrists and ophthalmologists are able to continue providing requested information related to a patient’s vision to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Without this bill, he is concerned Kansas optometrists and ophthalmologists will be unwilling to complete the vision forms due to liability concerns. Mr. Fleischer stood for questions.
