SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Advisory Committee on Certified Practices. Abolishes the Advisory Committee on Certified Practices. The advisory committee was created in 1994 to recommend to the Boards of Counseling, Medicine, Nursing, Psychology, and Social Work standards for the voluntary certification of their licensees as sex offender treatment providers and to recommend to the Board of Psychology standards for the mandatory certification of sex offender treatment providers for those professionals who are otherwise exempt from licensure. The advisory committee has not met since the development of the initial regulations. The activities of the advisory committee are currently subsumed within the Board of Psychology, which has the authority to form ad hoc advisory groups should the need arise for additional expertise. This bill is a recommendation of 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). This bill incorporates HB 210.
