To amend section 45 of Chapter 20 to allow long years of experience to count as supervised experience for licensure

In accordance with Virginia law, the petition was filed with the Register of Regulations and will be published on July 5, 2021 with comment accepted through August 4, 2021. The petition is also posted on the Virginia Regulatory Townhall at www.townhall.viginia.gov.

The petition and any comment will be considered by the Board at its next meeting following the close of comment, which is scheduled for September 10, 2021. The petitioner will be informed of its decision following that meeting.

The petition was considered by the Board at its meeting on January 14, 2022. While the Board is proposing changes to its regulations for licensure by endorsement to eliminate requirements for active practice in another jurisdiction, it did not choose to eliminate the requirement for supervised clinical experience if one does not already hold a clinical license in the other jurisdiction. Therefore, the Board determined it would take no action on the petition.
