Identify future POC member
discussion items Commissioner Hamrick recommended that the POC look at
the amount of time that is available for POC members to review the training
course materials. He felt, especially for this meeting, that more time was
needed. Cam Fentriss recommended that the 23 day rule (required
number of days that a course should be accredited and placed in pending
status in the BCIS, prior to being placed on POC agenda) should be reviewed
based on concerns raised by FBC Counsel April Hammonds. Commissioner Stone stated that he has a difficult time
finding the course materials (on the BCIS) to review, when he travels out of
town. Commissioner Franco said that he experiences the same problem. A
suggestion was made that maybe a common address or holding place could be
established in the BCIS for these course materials. Jim Richmond suggested that both of the timing issues
(course review and the 23 day rule) should be discussed at the February POC
meeting. Ila Jones stated that course materials reviewed by POC
members are not readily accessible to the general public because providers
were afraid that the course material, which is proprietary information, would
be stolen. Commissioner Stone asked if this issue was related to
the existing Sunshine laws. Jim Richmond stated that we are not denying access of
the materials to anyone, rather we are restricting access. He further stated
that in his experience, no one in the general public has ever asked to view
the materials. April Hammonds suggested that it might be a good idea,
because of the sunshine laws, to make the course materials more accessible to
the general public. Commissioner Stone stated that because of the current
PDF technology, it is more difficult to steal proprietary information--like
the training course materials. Commissioner Hamrick stated that we have had this
discussion many times in the past, and that providers are worried about
theft. He further stated that he thought some providers may not submit
courses for approval, if we make the materials more readily accessible to the
public. Cam Fentriss suggested that if providers are worried
about theft of proprietary information, that they could petition the
legislature for an exemption to the sunshine laws. Jim Richmond suggested that we should definitely have
this issue discussed as an agenda item at a future meeting to gain input from
providers. April Hammonds stated that many other boards do not
have a public website, such as the FBC’s BCIS, which makes this a probable
issue under the current sunshine laws. |
