Mandatory Continuing Education Reviews

Pursuant to statute, any group or association proposing a mandatory continuing education requirement or a continuing competency requirement that includes mandatory continuing education, for any regulated occupation or profession, in any bill before the General Assembly, must first submit information concerning the need for such a requirement to the Department of Regulatory Agencies.

The Office of Policy, Research and Regulatory Reform reviews and analyzes the evidence and the proposal and reports in writing to the General Assembly within 45 days whether continuing competency with mandatory continuing education or mandatory continuing education alone would likely protect the public served by the practitioners.
