It's not, it's a nationwide thing enforced by the FTC. WA and some other states have stricter laws which include pupillary distance.

Good to know. But judging by the current messaging on the site that where you're supposed to send those complaints for that... I don't think there's much enforcement going on right now.

Considering the US govt has been partially closed for over a month now, it's probably a fair statement that NO enforcement of this is going on right now. :P
