commercial legal vs not

[drbizzaro]

To all the vetern OD's out there:

Here's a quote that I'm curious about:
"The Texas law explicitly prohibits a money-making operation like Wal-Mart from influencing the hours, times, and appointment schedules of optometrists"

So in other states, can we utilize the same idea to sue the corporations in order to set our own schedules (for those in corporate settings)?

Why do the other optometry state boards follow this and sue the corporations as well?

Most states have laws like Texas', however they don't have the teeth. It is typical of legislators to pass feel good laws but they don't often include the ability to enforce them.
