Agency Decision Summary

The Board agrees with the policy change suggested in the petition, but the petition excludes several professions that are also impacted by the petition's specified regulatory requirement. Because the petition as written would exclude four other professions from the benefits of the proposal, the Board rejects the petition.  The Board intends to reconsider this proposal, but encompassing all professions under the Board, at it's March 2022 meeting.
