This bill updates the professional engineers' registration act by making several key changes to the existing law. The bill revises definitions, board composition, and registration processes for professional engineers and land surveyors. Specifically, it modifies the board's structure by allowing up to three pro tem (temporary) board members, updates the qualifications and appointment process for board members, and clarifies requirements for registration and certification. The bill removes some outdated language and standardizes terminology, such as changing numeric references from written to numerical form (e.g., "thirty" to "30"). It also updates provisions related to corporate and limited liability company practice of engineering and land surveying, including requirements for designating responsible engineers or land surveyors within these entities. Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to fee structures, renewal processes, and administrative procedures for the board, ensuring that the registration process remains current and effective while maintaining professional standards for engineers and land surveyors in Washington state.
