Comment:  Include competency in the definition of “responsible person”.
"Responsible person" means the individual professional named by the entity registrant to be responsible and have control of the registrant's regulated services offered, or rendered, or both, by the entity. A professional can only be the responsible person for the professions indicated on his license or certification.

Recommendation – modify the definition of “Responsible person” by referencing competency.

"Responsible person" means the individual professional named by the entity registrant to be responsible and have control of the registrant's regulated services offered, or rendered, or both, by the entity. A professional can only be the responsible person for the professions indicated on his license or certification and the field or discipline within the profession for which he is competent.

 [“Field” is used in 18VAC10-20-730 and I have proposed using “discipline” in the additional comments submitted.  Consequently, I have proposed to include the terms “field” and “discipline” in the definitions.  See following comment.]
