The Tennessee Dispensing Opticians Association is the only state association working on behalf of all
Opticians in Tennessee .   We are the only education provider in the state to support legislation that maintains a State Board of Dispensing Opticians and licensing dispensing opticians.  We are the only education provider to spend money on  maintaining a lobbyist and attorney to monitor the legislature in an effort to make sure that any new bills that are introduced are for the good of the optician and consumers of Tennessee .

News: Congratulations! The bills to keep our licensing board Senate bill, SB0332 and our House bill,  HB1013 have both passed without opposition.  The bill is now headed to Governor Bredesen for his signature.  This is good news for licensed opticians, because of the efforts given by the licensing board members, the TDOA board members and all of the volunteers who gave their time to talk to Senators and House members the board is on it's way to a six year extension.  This was a hard road for all involved and we thank everyone for their efforts. Thank you also to our lobbyist, Theo Morrison, who helped us every step of the way.
