| Description |
This action will establish regulations under 6VAC16 for Human Subject Research to comply with the Code of Virginia. Regulations regarding human research exist for the protection of individuals participating in any sort of research which may expose such human subjects to physical or psychological injury as a consequence of participation as subjects and which departs from the application of established and accepted therapeutic methods appropriate to meet the subjects' needs. Currently, these regulations exist under 6VAC15, the State Board of Local and Regional Jails. In 2020, Chapter 759 of the Acts of Assembly changed authority for these regulations from the prior Board of Corrections (under §53.1-5.1 of the Code of Virginia) to the Director of the Department of Corrections (under §53.1-10 of the Code of Virginia). This action is necessary to relocate the regulations under the proper agency number, 6VAC16.
