Occasionally, the ND Board of Optometry creates Board Policies based on interpretations of Chapter 43-13 of the North Dakota Century Code, which are not published in the Code. The following are General Board Policies adopted by the Board:

The Board approves requests that are submitted. The Board will automatically approve all COPE, AOA, or NDOA continuing education courses. Motion of the Board: 05/20/2022.
