Status
Withdrawn 2/7/18
 
Reason: The Board withdrew the proposed stage which included a provision allowing a licensee to fulfill the requirement for continuing education by maintenance of current certification by the National Board of Certification in Occupational Therapy. The other changes were adopted by a separate action which became effective on 12/14/17.
Objections Filed 10 or more objections have been filed (7/13/16)
 
Reason:
Commenters did not believe this action has been adequately discussed by stakeholders. There were questions about the process of audits and the interpretation of competency assessment activities. Finally the commenters believe there are major differences between the NBCOT requirements and state requirements for continuing competency.
