(b) The board shall establish a questionnaire to accompany the renewal form. Said questionnaire shall be designed to determine if the licensee has acted in violation of or has been disciplined for actions that might be considered as violations of this article or that might make the licensee unfit to practice optometry with reasonable care and safety. Failure of the applicant to answer the questionnaire accurately shall be considered unprofessional conduct as specified in section 12-40-118.
