At this time, I am OPPOSED because I can find no documentation describing why the board is proposing this change. Is justification not required when a proposed change is submitted? Has the board seen an increase in substandard practices among licensed technicians which warrents a revision? Is there a formula that is used to determine the appropriate hours of annual CE based on level of education, responsibility or degree?  If there is, are Virginia's current requirements deficient? These are questions I would like to have answered.  While, I don't believe any licensed professional would argue that less education is better. I do believe that most professional (and paraprofessional) licensees achieve well beyond the minimal annual educational credits required by the board without being required to do so. I cannot in good conscious support a revision based on a mere "more is better" mentality. If the board could please elaborate on why this change has been proposed I, and I suspect others, could make a more informed decision on its validity. Thank you.
