It also updates the requirements for licensure as a professional engineer, including through examination or endorsement/comity. The bill allows the state board to deny applications for reasons such as fraud, deceit, or felony convictions. The bill also updates the requirements for certification as a surveyor intern and licensure as a professional surveyor, again allowing for licensure through examination or endorsement/comity.
