In accordance with the directive in the Governor’s Executive Directive 1 to remove “regulations not mandated by federal or state statute, in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General, and in a manner consistent with the laws of the Commonwealth,” DBHDS reviewed both chapters of licensing regulations to identify noncontroversial amendments and developed drafts for consideration as fast track actions. 

This forum contains the DRAFT regulatory action for Rules and Regulations for Licensing Providers by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (12VAC35-105) (the “Licensing Regulations”):
