18VAC 10-20-327
 

I recommend that elimination of business entity registration- 18VAC 10-20-327.  With the licensing of individual professionals there is no enhancement to public safety provided by the registration of business entities.  Many businesses that provide design work are not required to register:  "pre-engineered" metal building systems building suppliers, wood and light gauge metal truss suppliers, precast concrete product suppliers, fiberglass framing suppliers all typically provide engineering services in the course of their work but are apparently not required to register as business entities.  Since these businesses are not required to register it makes little sense registering any businesses.
