Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Common Interest Community Board intends to consider amending 18VAC48-50, Common Interest Community Manager Regulations. The purpose of the proposed action is to review the existing regulation and propose any amendments the board determines to be necessary and appropriate. The purpose of the proposed action is to review the existing regulation and propose any amendments the board determines to be necessary and appropriate. The board last undertook a significant review and revision of the regulation in 2012, when the regulation was amended to establish certification requirements for principal or supervisory employees of common interest community managers. Since 2012, members of the public, individuals in the community management industry, and agency staff have identified several areas where the regulation would benefit from revision or clarification. A thorough review of the regulation is necessary to address these areas, ensure the regulation complements current Virginia law, provides minimal burdens on regulants while still protecting the public, are clearly written and understandable, and reflect current procedures and policies of the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. In addition, the review will be conducted in an effort to identify areas for regulatory reduction in accordance with Chapters 444 and 445 of the 2018 Acts of Assembly.

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

Statutory Authority: § 54.1-2349 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Comment Deadline: September 15, 2021.
