Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Virginia Board for Asbestos, Lead, Mold, and Home Inspectors intends to consider amending 18VAC15-20, Virginia Asbestos Licensing Regulations. The purpose of the proposed action is to adjust licensing fees for regulants of the Board for Asbestos, Lead, Mold, and Home Inspectors. The board must establish fees adequate to support the costs of the board's operations and a proportionate share of the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation's operations. By the close of the next biennium, fees will not provide adequate revenue for those costs. The board has no other source of revenue from which to fund its operations.

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