64B19-11.005: Supervised Experience Requirements
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed rule amendments are intended to clarify the rule and to address the supervisor’s responsibility in instances where there are multiple supervisors.
SUMMARY: The proposed rule amendments clarify the rule and also require the primary supervisor to provide the required information to the Board in instances where there are multiple supervisors.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The Board determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary. The proposed rule amendments will not have an adverse impact on small business, nor will the proposed rule likely increase regulatory costs, including transactional costs, in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation of the rule. These rule amendments will not require ratification by the Legislature.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
