    Chevron: It's Not Just A Gas Station

    When an optometry board makes a decision that is appealed into the courts, what happens? Please join Dale Atkinson, and members of the ARBO Board of Directors, for a review of the Chevron deference principle that addresses how courts should or should not defer to the decisions of the optometry board. A June 2024 United States Supreme Court decision will be looked at and how judicial review of boards decisions may change.
