Action:
Repeal Ch 371 and Replace Following Assessment and Receipt of Public Comment
Action 6351
General Information
| Action Summary |
This regulatory action seeks to repeal the chapter governing the regulations for the licensure of nursing facilities and replace it with a new chapter due to the current chapter being outdated and in need of significant style and structure changes so extensive that promulgation of a new chapter would be more appropriate than amending the current chapter. This repeal-and-replace will conform the regulatory language to the Code of Virginia, “Form, Style and Procedure Manual for Publication of Virginia Regulations” published by The Virginia Register of Regulations, and changes in the regulated industry. The goal of this regulatory action will be to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public with a regulation that is clear and easy to understand and implement by both regulants and the Virginia Department of Health. A periodic review will be conducted simultaneously to evaluate the extent of revisions appropriate for this chapter.
Public comment is sought on any issue relating to this regulation. This action may address comments received during the public comment period for this NOIRA and subsequent stages of this action. |
