Comment on the petition is requested until May 25, 2011.
Following receipt of all comments on the petition to amend regulations, the petition
request will be considered by the Board of Nursing at its meeting on July 19, 2011
to decide whether to make any changes to the regulatory language. Given the breadth
of the petition, it is likely that statutory changes would have to be made by the
Virginia General Assembly in order to accomplish some of the petition request.
