It revises the requirements for certification as an engineer intern, including allowing for graduation from certain 4-year engineering technology programs. 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. It also provides exemptions for certain surveying work performed by employees of a business entity.
