Board weighs removing interactive CEU requirement, considers waiver process
Summary
A proposal to remove the interactive continuing-education requirement under NAC 641A.131 was discussed to increase accessibility for licensees with disabilities and those with scheduling barriers; members debated waivers, a reduced interactive-hour requirement, and safeguards against misuse.
Board member Sara Pelton proposed removing the interactive continuing-education hour requirement to increase access for licensees with disabilities, chronic illness, or scheduling constraints, citing personal experience with asynchronous learning. Some members supported a case-by-case waiver process administered by the Board office, while others suggested keeping a reduced number of interactive hours (for example, 10) or allowing virtual live interactive formats as a compromise.
Members discussed the risk that removing interactive requirements entirely could lower training quality, and they explored accommodation mechanisms similar to those used for exams or institutional policies. The Board did not finalize regulatory language but expressed interest in drafting flexible language that preserves core training content while allowing exceptions where appropriate.
