NEW BUSINESS
The Board discussed the Governors Regulatory Reform Commission report. The commission conducted a fairly critical analysis of the practices and procedures of all regulatory agencies, Boards and Commissions, and made recommendations designed to streamline government oversight as well as reduce spending by state agencies.
Notable was the review of Continuing Professional Competency requirements that many boards have in place. The report questions the necessity and value of continuing education and its true impact on the licensed community.
The Board discussed this matter in detail. It was concluded that input from the boards should be provided to the commission or the Governor; however, a response from the Board is not required at this time. A link to the report will be provided to the Board.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Pamela Edwards advised the Board that Jessica Carter, Chief Counsel, has determined that posting Board meeting notices on the DLLR website is sufficient notice to the public. Ms. Edwards said that in the past we have been publishing meeting dates in the Maryland Register, and the Daily Record when last minute changes are needed. The Board agreed that notice on the website calendar is sufficient.
A motion (III) was made by Paul Edmeades, seconded by Stephen Parker, and unanimously carried to discontinue posting the meeting schedule to the Maryland Register as the DLLR web page calendar is sufficient notice to the public.
Motion (IV) was made by Paul Edmeades, seconded by Stephen Parker, to incorporate the Educational Equivalency Matrix into the regulations. The motion was unanimously carried by the Board.

Ms. Edwards also reported that she received approval of the Hiring Freeze Exemption Request for Terry White’s position and that Linda Washington will be the acting Board Secretary until a permanent replacement for Terry is found. Mr. Parker asked about Ms. Edwards’ replacement. It was reported that the Commissioner is working on that.
Ms. Edwards also advised the Board that the Real Estate Commission has asked to switch Board meeting times in September 2016. The Board declined with regrets.
The Board discussed proposed changes to NCARB’s education requirements from 160 hours to 150 hours to be consistent with colleges offering a 5 year degree. This would put NCARB in line with the NAAB requirements. The Board decided that it will not take exception to the modification to NCARB’s Education Standard. Ms. Edwards will advise NCARB via email.
Funding for the Regional Summit in March, in Savanah Georgia was discussed. Gary Ey is interested in going under the Public Member Scholarship. Ms. Edwards stated that there are slots for 5 funded delegates.
John Corkill asked about a new NCARB program involving a joint agreement with 14 colleges. Paul Edmeades offered that our education, IDP, and exam requirements must still be met and that NCARB is working to shorten licensing requirements. Stephen Parker stated that this pilot program would allow requirements to be met in an simultaneous instead of sequentially.
