Agency Response Date | 03/03/2023 |
The Board considered the petition at its March 3, 2023 meeting and decided to take
no action. On October 14, 2022, the Board's regulatory committee recommended deleting
the listed providers from 18VAC60-21-250(C)(8) as part of the amendments following
the periodic review of Chapter 21. The committee further recommended that the approved
entities be added to a guidance document once the regulatory action is approved to
allow for greater flexibility in adding approved entities. The Board adopted the regulatory
committee's recommendation on December 2, 2022, and the action has been submitted
to the Office of the Attorney General for review. The action will be viewable by the
public when it moves to the Department of Planning and Budget for review. The Board
will consider adding this entity to the approved providers once the list of providers
can be moved to a guidance document.
