Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs
Technical Corrections to Schedules of Civil Penalties
Regulation No. 16A-62 (# 3249)On January 16, 2020, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this regulation from the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs (Bureau). This rulemaking amends 49 Pa. Code Chapter 43b. Notice of proposed rulemaking was omitted for this regulation; it will become effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
This final-omitted rulemaking corrects statutory and regulatory authority in the schedules of civil penalties for the State Board of Auctioneer Examiners, the State Board of Barber Examiners, the State Board of Dentistry, the State Board of Vehicle Manufacturers, Dealers and Salespersons, the State Real Estate Commission, and the State Registration Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists. These corrections align the schedules of civil penalties with the corresponding statutes and regulations.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Bureau (63 P.S. § 2205(a)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.
By Order of the Commission:
This regulation is approved.

Licensed Bachelor Social Worker; Fees
Regulation No. 16A-6922 (# 3196)On January 31, 2018, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the State Board of Social Workers, Marriage/Family Therapists and Professional Counselors (Board). This rulemaking amends 49 Pa. Code Chapter 47. The proposed regulation was published in the February 10, 2018 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a public comment period ending on March 12, 2018. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on January 16, 2020.
The regulation implements Act 179 of 2014 (P.L. 2884, No. 179) with regard to licensure of bachelor social workers, establishes applicable fees for licensed bachelor social workers and adjusts existing fees for other licensure categories. It also eliminates language pertaining to provisional license as a social worker.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (63 P.S. §§ 1906 and 1918(c) and Section 9 of the act of October 22, 2014 (P.L. 2884, No. 179)) and the intention of the General Assembly.
