To whom it may concern,

Please do not resend 18 VAC 50-30 as this is an important part of the tradesmen industry. This is how clients can be sure the people they hire to do a job have at least done the minimum to have and keep a Journeyman's licence in the state of VA. Also allows employers to make sure the person they are hiring cares enough to keep up their licence. Other state requirements are quite a bit more rigorous. I have to wonder if your body even did any research on this issue with other states. There may someone not working in the trade regular basis that wants to keep their card, they are not engaged in the work everyday so they are not keeping up with the new technics and products, at least if they want to stay in good standing they would have to take 3 hours of continuing education for their specific discipline. 

Thank You
