Agency Plan
The petition will be published in the Register of Regulations and sent to persons
on the public participation guidelines listing for the Board with a request for comment.
Following close of comment on August 30, 2012, the Board will consider whether it
has statutory authority to have a registry of qualified supervisors.

While members concurred in the value of a listing of qualified supervisors, it was
concluded that there was no authority in the statute to register supervisor or maintain
a list of qualified persons. Such authorization would require introduction of legislation
in the General Assembly and a change in the law. Therefore, the Board is unable to
accomplish the request through an amendment to its regulations.
