This section names the law as the “Nonresident Ophthalmic Lens Dispenser Registration Act,” allowing it to be easily referenced in discussions or legal documents.

If you're outside of California and want to send eyewear, like glasses or contacts, to a patient in California, you need to be registered with the California State Board of Optometry. Plus, you can only send glasses or contacts if they're based on a valid prescription.

If you want to register as a nonresident ophthalmic lens dispenser in California, you need to fill out a specific form and pay the required fee. This form must include your business name, address, any registration numbers from the board, and specify an agent in California who can receive legal paperwork for you. Additionally, if anything changes, like your business name or address, you need to let the board know in writing within 30 days.

This law outlines the requirements for nonresident sellers of ophthalmic lenses to be registered in California. They must be in good standing with their home state's regulations. They need to comply with board requests, keep shipment records for three years, and offer at least six days of customer support weekly via a toll-free number. They must warn patients about potential eye issues with contact lenses and disclose any membership or shipping fees in their ads. Nonresident sellers must provide contact information for prescription verification and avoid claiming lenses can be sold without verifying a prescription.

This law says that a certificate can be denied, suspended, or revoked if a person or their employee shows incompetence, gross negligence, dishonesty, fraud, or if they commit a crime that could justify denial of a license. It can also be taken away if they break specific related rules. These actions are judged according to specific procedures outlined in another section of the Government Code.

If you're a nonresident dispensing contact lenses or glasses under a registration in California, your registration lasts for 24 months. Before it expires, you need to fill out a form and pay a renewal fee to keep it active.

This law outlines the fee structure for nonresident ophthalmic lens dispensers in California. It sets minimum and maximum amounts for application, initial registration, renewal, and delinquency fees. Additionally, there's a set fee for replacing a lost or damaged registration. The California State Board of Optometry can adjust these fees but not beyond reasonable regulatory costs. All collected fees go into the Optometry Fund to support board activities.

This law states that anyone who breaks the rules of this chapter can be fined between $1,000 and $35,000 for each violation. The money from these fines goes to the California State Board of Optometry to help them manage and enforce the rules. The board will also create rules on how to implement this section, taking into account factors like penalties, past behavior, and how serious the offense is. Any proceedings related to this law must follow specific procedural rules outlined in another section of government regulations.
