Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation intends to consider amending 18VAC120-30, Regulations Governing Polygraph Examiners. The purpose of the proposed action is to extend the license term and reinstatement periods currently in place. The amendments will eliminate the requirement that licenses be renewed annually and, by extending the reinstatement period, provide a longer amount of time a licensee may be late with a renewal payment before the license is terminated.

The agency intends to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Statutory Authority: §§ 54.1-113 and 54.1-1802.1 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Comment Deadline: July 10, 2019.
