Action:
CE for volunteer service
Action 4630
General Information
| Action Summary |
Chapter 82 of the 2016 General Assembly requires health regulatory boards to promulgate regulations to allow some volunteer service time to count towards meeting some of a licensee’s continuing education requirements.
The Board has adopted proposed regulations to allow licensed professional counselor, marriage and family therapists, and substance abuse treatment practitioners to count up to two hours of the 20 hours required for annual renewal to be satisfied through delivery of mental health or substance abuse treatment services, without compensation, to low-income individuals receiving health services through a local health department or a free clinic organized in whole or primarily for the delivery of those services. One hour of continuing education may be credited for three hours of providing such volunteer services, as documented by the health department or free clinic.
In addition, the title of Chapter 60 is amended for consistency with the title of the practitioners as defined in § 54.1-3500 of the Code of Virginia. |
