Action 2991
 
General Information
Action Summary The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) proposes the repeal of 2 VAC 5-100, Rules and Regulations Governing the Qualifications for Humane Investigators. Humane investigators are volunteer animal welfare investigators. The regulation was promulgated in order to fulfill the statutory requirements of the State Veterinarian as listed in §§ 3.1-796.106, 3.1-796.106:1, and 3.1-796.106:2 of the Code of Virginia. In 2003, these sections of the Code were amended and reenacted in Chapter 858 of the 2003 Acts of Assembly, removing the direct authority of the State Veterinarian over humane investigators. VDACS’ Office of the State Veterinarian proposes to repeal the regulation governing the qualifications for humane investigators because the regulation is no longer authorized by law.
