SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Advisory Board on Rehabilitation Providers. Abolishes the Advisory Board on Rehabilitation Providers. The advisory board was created in 1994 (i) to recommend to the Boards of Counseling; Medicine; Nursing; Psychology; and Social Work regulatory criteria for the voluntary certification of their licensees who provide rehabilitation services and for standards of conduct of licensees so certified and (ii) to recommend to the Board of Counseling regulatory criteria for certification and for standards of professional conduct of persons who provide rehabilitative services but who are exempt from licensure as professional counselors. The advisory board has not met since the development of initial regulations. The activities of the advisory board are currently subsumed within the Board of Counseling, which has the authority to form ad hoc advisory groups should the need arise for additional expertise. This bill is identical to HB 7, which was recommended by the Joint Subcommittee to Study the Operations, Practices, Duties, and Funding of the Commonwealth's Agencies, Boards, Commissions, Councils, and Other Governmental Entities pursuant to HJR 159 (2002).
