ULYSSES OR USELESS - Virginia's Revised Advance Medical Directive

press release

Apr 8, 2010

In Greek mythology, Ulysses had himself tied to a ship's mast and ordered his crew not to release him until they had safely passed the Sirens - no matter how much he pleaded or protested. Effective July 1, 2009, Virginia's General Assembly amended Virginia Code to allow you to make a similar election in your Advance Medical Directive.

Effective April 1, 2010, the Commonwealth of Virginia will require additional criteria for training program approval for common interest community managers. The new regulations will require at least one supervisory employee or officer with five years of experience to complete a comprehensive training program approved by Virginia's Common Interest Community Board. Additionally, at least 50% of the persons who have principal responsibility will be required to obtain a license or complete an introductory training program approved by the Board.

Other changes in the licensure law include changes to the bond reporting requirements for provisional licensees, the qualifications for licensure, and the acts prohibited under the regulations.
