Waiver of examination requirement for experienced LCSW/CSAC applicants for LSATP
 

The petitioner requests that the Board amend 18VAC115-60-90 to permit licensed clinical social workers licensed for ten years or more who also hold a certification as a substance abuse counselor and have practiced within the last five years (60 months) have the examination requirement to become a licensed substance abuse treatment provider waived, similar to an exemption for licensed professional counselors applying to become LSATPs.
