Montana Attorney General Opinion 16-282

Opinion No. 282. Optometry, Practice of-Trade Name -Corporate Name. HELD: An optometrist may not practice under a trade or corporate name. May 12, 19R6. Dr. F. H. Keller Secretary, Montana State Board of Examiners in Optometry Kalispell, Montana You have asked whether it is law- ful for an optometrist to practice his profession under a trade or corporate name. You are advised that Chapter 171, Laws of 1925, Section 2, Subdivision 6, provides: "It shall be unlawful for any person * * * to practice optometry under a false or assumed name." While no facts are stated, this sec- tion, in my opinion, would make ~n­ lawful the practice by an optometnst under a trade or corpol·a.te name.
