Description
Professions and occupations; active supervision of regulatory boards. Establishes a statewide policy for the regulation of professions and occupations specifying criteria for government regulation with the objective of increasing opportunities, promoting competition, encouraging innovation, protecting consumers, and complying with applicable federal antitrust laws. In addition, the bill establishes a process for the active supervision of state regulatory boards pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners v. Federal Trade Commission, in which the Court held that a state regulatory board that includes active market participants among its board membership must be actively supervised by the state in order for such board and its members to be entitled to immunity for federal antitrust violations. The bill also (i) creates the Division of Supervision of Regulatory Boards in the Office of the Attorney General to be responsible for the active supervision of regulatory boards and (ii) establishes the position of professional and occupational regulatory analyst within the Division of Legislative Services to review legislation establishing or modifying an occupational regulation to determine whether the legislation meets the state policy of using the least restrictive regulation necessary to protect or preserve the public health, safety,and welfare.

Comments
Cautiously support the concepts. DPOR is a FEE based agency which means that staff has a vested interest in expanding license/certification requirements. If this bill is to legitimize commercial interests in Virginia, then bureaucratic capture must be resolved.
Establish general funds to remove the financial interest from DPOR staff in creating "retirement packages" from business interests.
