Filing Consumer Complaints / Florida

[AlPikeCP at aol.com]

Thanks to Tony and Terry Supan it would appear that Illinois does have a 
complaint process on-line.  <A HREF="https://www.dpr.state.il.us/FILING/Complaint.asp">https://www.dpr.state.il.us/FILING/Complaint.asp</A>

I am in favor of regulation of O&P as I have spend a lot of money meeting the 
requirements for ABC certification. At one time ABC carried more weight with 
states and the VA, but got lobbied down.

I was a very early supporter of licensure, but what has come to pass I cannot 
fully support any more from what I have seen and heard.

This response was received from the state of Washington today.....
