Director urges rulemaking priority; continuing-education rule for compact highlighted
Summary
Director Penny Vaillancourt told the Board that rulemaking must be prioritized for 2026, and that creating a continuing-education rule to implement compact requirements is the most important item.
Director Penny Vaillancourt reported to the Board that rulemaking will be needed and proposed prioritizing specific chapters for 2026 work. Vaillancourt emphasized that the Board especially needs to create a continuing-education rule to address obligations arising from compact participation.
The minutes record the Director’s recommendation but do not list a formal vote or a chapter-by-chapter timeline. Board members agreed to review meeting dates and report conflicts to staff so scheduling for rulemaking and other priorities can proceed.
Why it matters: changes to rules and continuing-education requirements will affect licensees’ compliance obligations and the Board’s ability to participate in interstate compact arrangements.
