Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Board of Long-Term Care Administrators intends to consider amending 18VAC95-30, Regulations Governing the Practice of Assisted Living Facility Administrators. The purpose of the proposed action is to comply with the second enactment of Chapter 609 of the 2011 Acts of Assembly. To implement the provisions of Chapter 609, the board will amend certain regulations for an administrator-in-training to ensure adequate oversight by the preceptor who is supervising the training of a person serving as the acting administrator for an assisted living facility. Regulations are intended to clarify that the acting administrator is in training, that the preceptor is responsible for appropriate oversight, and that survey visit reports for the facility become part of the administrator-in-training reports.

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