18VAC120-30-10. Definitions.

The following words and terms, when used in this chapter, shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

"Advisory board" or "board" means the Polygraph Examiner's Advisory Board.

"Polygraph examination" means the entire period of contact between a licensee and an examiner.

"Polygraph test" means the part of the polygraph examination during which the examinee is connected to a polygraph instrument which is continuously recording the examinee's reactions to questions.

"Reciprocity" means any individual holding a current license in another jurisdiction may obtain a Virginia polygraph examiners license provided the requirements and standards under which the license was issued are substantially equivalent to those established in this chapter and the individual meets all other board requirements for licensure in Virginia.

"Reinstatement" means having a license restored to effectiveness after the expiration date on the license has passed. When a licensee fails to renew his license within one calendar month after its expiration date, the licensee is required to apply for reinstatement of the license. Six months after the expiration date on the license, reinstatement is no longer possible and the applicant must reapply and requalify for licensure.

"Relevant question" means a question asked of an examinee during a polygraph test which concerns an issue identified to the examinee during the pretest and which is to be reported by the licensee to any other person.

"Renewal" means continuing the effectiveness of a license for another period of time.
