Regulations for Licensure of Abortion Facilities [12 VAC 5 ‑ 412]    (Repealed)
Emergency Extension Request
(3563)
Action:
Regulations for Licensure of Abortion Facilities
(6006)
Stage:
Emergency/NOIRA

On 10/12/2012 the board requested that this emergency stage be extended until 6/29/2013.

Reason for Extension:
The Board of Health approved the Emergency Regulations on 9/15/2011. Following approval by the Governor, the emergency regulations became effective on 12/29/2011. VDH presented proposed permanent regulations to the Board of Health on 6/15/2012. However, the regulations as approved by the Board were not certified by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). VDH presented revised proposed permanent regulations to the Board of Health on 9/14/2012. The Board approved the revised proposed regulations, which were then certified by the OAG. Due to the fact that it took longer than originally planned for the Board to approve permanent proposed regulations that were certified by the OAG, additional time will be needed in order to complete final permanent regulations. Consequently, VDH requests that the emergency regulations for licensure of abortion facilities be extended for six months, until June 29, 2013.

This emergency extension request was approved by the Governor's office on 12/27/2012.
