Agency Decision Summary

At its meeting on December 4, 2020, the Board voted to take no action on the petition. Under current regulations, an individual who is unable to complete the supervision requirements within four consecutive years is able to request an extension of up to 12 months. In the past few months, the Board has received 10-12 such requests and all have been granted. A supervisee should be able to complete supervision within two years, so the Board believes the 12-month extension in addition to four years should be sufficient.
