A public hearing will be held on February 10, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in the second floor conference room B of the Cannon Building, 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, Dover, Delaware, where members of the public can offer comments.

The Board will deliberate on all of the public comments at its next regularly scheduled meeting, at which time the Board will decide whether to adopt the revisions as proposed.
The Board's proposed revisions include a new Section 7.1.1.1 which will allow an applicant to take the Fundamentals of Geology ("FG") examination during that applicant's final semester in an accredited geosciences program leading to a degree. The examination is given just twice a year, in March and October. This change will enable the applicant to take the FG examination in March rather than waiting until October. The applicant will still be required to meet all other requirements for licensure, including passing the Practice of Geology examination. The results of the FG examination will be disclosed to the applicant after the final transcript is received. In addition, the list of automatically approved continuing education course providers, in Section 6.10, is amended to add the Pennsylvania Council of Professional Geologists. Finally, Section 6.10.54 is stricken to eliminate Board discretion to add providers to that list. Licensees will still have the option of seeking specific course approval from the Board.
Pursuant to 24 Del.C. §5306(a)(1), the Board of Massage and Bodywork (“Board”) has proposed revisions to its rules and regulations.
A public hearing will be held on February 16, 2017 at 1:30 p.m. in the second floor conference room B of the Cannon Building, 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, Dover, Delaware, where members of the public can offer comments.

Pursuant to 29 Del.C. § 10118(a), the final date to receive written comments will be March 3, 2017, which is 15 days following the public hearing. The Board will deliberate on all of the public comments at its next regularly scheduled meeting, at which time the Board will decide whether to adopt the revisions as proposed.
The Board has proposed the addition of a definition of “school or approved program” of massage and bodywork and has included specific requirements for documentation of education. These proposed changes will address the widespread problem of applicants presenting invalid and falsified diplomas and school records. The continuing education requirements have been clarified and language has been added to state that a licensee’s failure to provide an updated address to the Division of Professional Regulation will not excuse that licensee from discipline for continuing education violations. The new Section 13.0 has been amended to remove crimes not related to the practice of massage and bodywork and thereby eliminate unjustified obstacles to licensure. Finally, various rules and regulations have been modified for clarity and consistency.
