Bill > HB81

This bill amends the Delaware Code related to professional engineers by removing outdated references to permits and updating several sections of law governing the Delaware Association of Professional Engineers. The bill empowers the Council to designate foreign jurisdictions recognized for professional engineer applications through comity, modifies the examination violation procedures to reflect the current computerized testing format, and clarifies the process for reporting case recommendations. Specifically, the bill updates definitions, removes mentions of "permits" throughout the code, adjusts requirements for professional engineer licensure by expanding international recognition options, and revises disciplinary procedures for examination misconduct. The bill also strengthens the Council's ability to enforce its rules by explicitly allowing it to seek injunctive relief for cease and desist orders. These changes aim to modernize the regulatory framework for professional engineers in Delaware, ensuring more flexible and current professional standards while maintaining rigorous oversight of engineering practice.
