Guidance Documents

The Code of Virginia requires annual publication of lists of guidance documents from state agencies. A guidance document is defined as "...any document developed by a state agency or staff that provides information or guidance of general applicability to the staff or public to interpret or implement statutes or the agency's rules or regulations..." Agencies are required to maintain a complete, current list of all guidance documents and make the full text of such documents available to the public.

Copies may be downloaded by clicking on the links below or from the Regulatory Townhall at townhall.virginia.gov or requested by email at fanbd@dhp.virginia.gov. Questions regarding implementation of these documents or requests for copies may be directed to Corie Tillman Wolf, Director of the Board, at the address above or by telephone at (804) 367-4479.
