The Board for Professional and Occupational Regulation is seeking public comment on the continued regulation of several professions or occupations.
As a result of recommendations in the 2018 Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC) report and legislation during the 2019 General Assembly Session, the Board for Professional and Occupational Regulation is evaluating several licensure or certification programs to determine whether continued regulation is needed. One of the programs being studied is the certification of principal or supervisory employees of common interest community managers. A series of public hearings have been scheduled to receive public comment as part of the evaluation process. Here are the dates, times, and locations of the public hearings:
