I support amending 18VAC110-21-141(B)(e) because the National Healthcareer Association does not accredit, approve or formally recognize pharmacy technician training programs. NHA functions solely as a national certifying body for individuals and does not exercise authority over educational program approval.
As currently written, subsection B9e) references a program recognition process that does not exist, resulting in ambiguity and potential inconsistency in regulatory interpretation and enforcement.
Amending this subsection to accurately reflect certification eligibility, rather than program recognition would enhance regulatory clarity.
