§ 45.1-161.292:20. Examinations required for Mineral Mining Certifications
A. The Board of Mineral Mining Examiners may require examination of applicants for certification; however, the Board shall require examination of applicants for a mine inspector certification. The Board may require such other information from applicants as may be necessary to ascertain competency and qualifications for each task. Except as provided by this chapter and Chapters 14.5 (§ 45.1-161.293 et seq.) and 14.6 (§ 45.1-161.304 et seq.) for general mineral miner and surface foreman certifications, the Board shall prescribe the qualifications for any certification. The examinations shall be conducted under such rules, conditions and regulations as the Board shall promulgate. Such rules, when promulgated, shall be made a part of the permanent record of the Board, shall periodically be published, and shall be of uniform application to all applicants.
B. Any certificate issued by the Board, except the general mineral miner certification, shall be valid from the date of issuance for a period of five years, unless renewed, or unless revoked by the Board pursuant to § 45.1-161.292:26. The general mineral miner certification shall be valid from the date of issuance until it may be revoked by the Board pursuant to § 45.1-161.292:26.
