At its meeting today, the Board considered the petition and comments, which were
all in support of the request. Following a lengthy discussion, the Board concluded
that it needed additional information about what other states have adopted and some
legal advice from its board counsel. For that purpose, the matter was referred to
the Regulation Committee of the Board for further consideration. While the Board
does not intend to initiate rulemaking at this time, the Committee will make a recommendation
to the full Board at its meeting in June.
