Regulations for Conducting Division-Level Academic Reviews [8 VAC 20 ‑ 700]    (Repealed)
This action is part of the regulatory reform initiative.
Action:
Repeal of Regulations for Conducting Division-Level Academic Reviews
Action 4029
 
General Information
Action Summary The Governor’s 2012 Regulatory Reform Initiative was established to “repeal regulations that are unnecessary or no longer in use, reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens on individuals, businesses, and other regulated groups, and identify statutes that require unnecessary or overly burdensome regulations.” Three Board of Education regulations were identified as meeting these criteria. The Regulations for Conducting Division-Level Academic Reviews simply outline the process and procedures by which the Board of Education conducts the review and does not prescribe requirements on the division that is being regulated. However, there was a second enactment clause in Chapter 965 of the 2004 Acts of Assembly that required the Board to promulgate emergency regulations, which the Board did, and subsequently replaced with permanent regulations. The Governor proposed legislation to eliminate the statutory requirements for the Board of Education to promulgate these regulations. The legislation, SB 1201 (McDougle), which was passed unanimously by the 2013 General Assembly and signed by the Governor, eliminated references to the Board of Education’s responsibility for promulgating the emergency regulations (and subsequently the permanent regulations).
