    Notice of Public Hearing

    Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board

    Pursuant to Section 119.03 of the Ohio Revised Code, notice is hereby given that the Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals (OCDP) Board intends to conduct a public hearing.

    The Board is conducting its Five Year Rule Review. This process allows the Board to review and evaluate each applicable rule for continued necessity of the rule and possible content modification.

    A public hearing will be conducted: Date:               November 1, 2016

    Time:               10:00 am

    Room:             1938      Location:         Vern Riffe Center

    The Board is recommending changes to the following rules:

    4758-3-01: This rule outlines fees for applying for a license, certificate or endorsement with the Board. The Board is removing the written exam fee because the written exam is no longer available. We are also changing the term RCH to CEU in all applicable rules and removing the laundry list of credential types for more universal terms where applicable.

    4758-5-01: This rule establishes application requirements for chemical dependency counselor assistants. We are adjusting educational content areas in this rule to match those in the other chemical dependency counselor credentials for consistency and transferability. We are also clarifying that this application requires approved education. The prior term of "training" confused applicants and led them to believe they could use work experience for education.

    4758-5-03: This rule establishes application requirements for licensed chemical dependency counselor II.  We are adjusting language to allow for the use of online applications. We are also identifying IC&RC domain areas by their number instead of title. Lastly, we are cleaning up language for consistency across credentials.
