Amend 12 VAC 35-115-180 to establish the findings of an abuse allegation as a basis
for an LHRC fact-finding hearing.

The Board anticipates it will consider public comments on this request at its November
30, 2010 meeting and will then determine what appropriate action is required.

Agency Response Date | 12/03/2010 |
The proposed change would diminish an individual's right to choose whether an allegation
of abuse should come before the LHRC for a fact finding hearing. Presently this is
a personal decision; the proposed change would make an LHRC fact-finding hearing mandatory.
