Section 80. Certification

Part III. Certification

Certification of Alcohol Safety Action Programs (ASAPs) within the Commonwealth of Virginia was established to ensure administrative consistency within the system and the quality of services provided to DUI offenders, the courts and the community. One-third of the ASAPs shall be certified each year by region. The regions are Battlefield, Blue Ridge and Colonial ASAP Councils.

All ASAPs operating under §§ 18.2-271.1 and 18.2-271.2 of the Code of Virginia are required to be certified by the commission in conjunction with standards set out in the Commission Certification Requirements Manual, 24VAC35-40-10 et seq.

All ASAPs operating on the initial effective date of these regulations and holding a current certification shall continue under that certification until scheduled for review. All noncertified ASAPs and new ASAPs established after the initial effective date shall obtain certification. The commission certifies Alcohol Safety Action Programs (ASAPs) in accordance with procedures set forth in the Commission on VASAP Certification Manual, 24VAC35-40-10 et seq. See § 18.2-271.2 B of the Code of Virginia.
