Action:
Amendment to Change Certain Mail Delivery Methods and Forms
Action 3977
General Information
| Action Summary |
The proposed amendments to 6 VAC 40-20 make two minor changes to the existing regulations. First, the amendments add the term “or equivalent delivery method” to 6 VAC 40-20-140. This amendment allows the Department of Forensic Science (DFS or the Department) to deliver notice of the revocation of breath instrument instructor or operator licenses or certificates via certified U.S. mail as well as other equivalent delivery methods, such as signature required Federal Express or UPS delivery. The use of private carriers for mail delivery is, at times, more cost effective than U.S. mail. This change will allow DFS to utilize the least expensive mail delivery option. Second, the proposed amendments to 6 VAC 40-20-160 strike language about the preventive maintenance checklist, which was applicable to a breath instrument which is no longer used in the Commonwealth. The amendments add language regarding the availability of breath test worksheets relevant to the instruments currently in use. |
