Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 54.1-3510 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

Article 2. Advisory Board on Rehabilitation Providers.

§ 54.1-3510. Definitions.

As used in this article, unless the context requires a different meaning:

"Advisory Board" means the Advisory Board on Rehabilitation Providers.

"Certified rehabilitation provider" means a person who is certified by the Board as possessing the training, the skills and the experience as a rehabilitation provider to form an opinion by discerning and evaluating, thereby allowing for a sound and reasonable determination or recommendation as to the appropriate employment for a rehabilitation client and who may provide vocational rehabilitation services under subdivision A 3 of § 65.2-603 that involve the exercise of professional judgment.
