Supreme Court rules against optometry board in license case
North Carolina high court finds that a spectacle maker need not hold a state optometry license and that the optometry board overstepped. It declares the law creating the board unconstitutional as it regulates the optical trade, not the practice of optometry. The decision preserves a mechanical lens operation by opticians, excluding measurement of vision powers. A separate ruling allows certain taxpayers to be taxed by two states on the same income. Further details accompany continued coverage.
