-current Board guidance document discusses direct supervision and WHO is accountable for an unlicensed person's actions.  Under the current program, licensed professional is responsible for everyone that he/she is employing-training.

The new licensing scheme is going to create a special buffer for "management" or those responsible for training/supervising unsupervised persons and place blame on untrained persons?  

Did the Board consider what this will do to accountability?

You are being requested to withdraw the proposed regulations due to less burdensome methods of regulation
