| Purpose of the meeting The Board of Health Professions is conducting a study on the need to regulate Kinesiotherapists in response to a request from the Senate Committee on Education and Health to review the subject matter contained in Senate Bills 573 and 727. A public hearing to receive comment is scheduled for July 30, 2010 at 10:00 A.M. in Board Room #2. Written comment will be accepted until August 13, 2010. To provide commenters with further background, the draft report “Study into the Need to Regulate Kinesiotherapists in the Commonwealth of Virginia” on the research completed, to date, as well as the study’s Workplan, are attached. Chief issues of interest are the degree of risk of harm from unregulated practice, the costs and benefits of varying levels of regulation, and the advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives to regulation.
