TITLE 18. PROFESSIONAL AND OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING
BOARD OF VETERINARY MEDICINE
Report of Findings
Pursuant to §§ 2.2-4007.1 and 2.2-4017 of the Code of Virginia, the Board of Veterinary Medicine conducted a periodic review and a small business impact review of 18VAC150-11, Public Participation Guidelines, and determined that this regulation should be retained as is. The board is publishing its report of findings dated June 4, 2024, to support this decision.
This regulation is necessary for the protection of public health, safety, and welfare because it sets forth the framework for public participation in board business, which the General Assembly determined is a necessary component of the provision of health care in the Commonwealth. The Board of Veterinary Medicine has reviewed this regulation and determined that it is clearly written and understandable.
The board voted to retain the chapter as is. The public participation guidelines are model regulations from the Department of Planning and Budget that all agencies adopt and are only changed when new model regulations are created. The board reviewed the regulation and determined no changes were needed.
The public needs to be able to engage in business of the board that affects them, and this regulation allows that. The board received no complaints regarding this specific regulation. The regulation is not complex. The regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with federal or state law or regulation. The regulation was last evaluated in 2018. The model regulations have not changed since then. There is no impact on small businesses in this limited and focused regulation.
