Who is responsible for approving the employment of a professional credentials evaluator?

The responsibility for approving the employment of a professional credentials evaluator lies with the Commissioner of Professional and Occupational Affairs. This role is typically involved in overseeing various professional licensing boards, which may include approving necessary personnel, such as evaluators who assess credentials for compliance with state regulations.

The Commissioner’s authority ensures that the evaluators have the appropriate qualifications and experience to carry out evaluations according to the standards required by the profession. This oversight helps maintain the integrity of the credentialing process and ensures that individuals entering the profession are properly vetted.

In contrast, the other entities mentioned, such as the Board members themselves or the Governor's office, may play different roles in the regulatory framework, but they do not directly handle the approval process for employment of evaluators. The Secretary of the Board may have administrative or coordinating responsibilities but does not have the final authority in this specific approval process.
