TITLE 18. PROFESSIONAL AND OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING
BOARD OF PSYCHOLOGY
Report of Findings
Pursuant to §§ 2.2-4007.1 and 2.2-4017 of the Code of Virginia, the Board of Psychology conducted a periodic review and a small business impact review of 18VAC125-15, Regulations Governing Delegation to an Agency Subordinate, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The department is publishing its report of findings dated August 31, 2021, to support this decision.
The Regulatory Committee reviewed the regulation and noted that it is mandated by the law. The board voted on August 31, 2021, to retain the regulation without amendment. While the board has not yet delegated cases to an agency subordinate, it is anticipated that agency subordinates may be utilized to conduct informal fact-finding proceedings, so the regulation is necessary for public health, welfare, and safety to retain the regulation as written.
The regulation is necessary for public protection since there is a statutory mandate for licensure in subdivision 10 of § 54.1-2400 of the Code of Virginia. Criteria for the appointment of an agency subordinate shall be set forth in regulations adopted by the board. There have been no comments or complaints. The regulation was promulgated in 2004 as an emergency regulation that became effective in 2005. It was reviewed in 2012 for clarity and for ease of understanding with an amendment to 18VAC125-15-20. This regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with state or federal law. This regulation has no impact on small businesses.
