Legislative Affairs

MoSEPS is committed to providing information on legislative activity affecting the scope of ophthalmology to its members and the general public. 

Missouri is currently under a moratorium until December 31, 2010, so any state-wide activity is limited for the coming months.  Following the sunset of the moratorium, members should keep a watchful eye on the website to find the most up to date information.
