Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Engineers and Architects Regulation Act; to amend sections 81-3437.01 and 81-3451, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, and section 81-3449, Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025; to change the requirements for using seals; to eliminate an exception relating to the practice of architecture by certain nonresidents; to change and eliminate provisions relating to certain applications relating to engineers; to harmonize provisions; and to repeal the original sections.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Engineers and Architects Regulation Act by changing requirements for the use of professional seals, requiring licensees to include the date of application alongside their signature and seal on technical documents, and specifying how seals should appear on various submissions. It also eliminates an exemption that previously allowed certain non-residents to offer architectural services without immediate licensure in Nebraska, requiring them to apply for a license if selected for a project. Additionally, the bill modifies and streamlines the application and examination requirements for becoming a licensed professional engineer, including clarifying educational and experience prerequisites and the process for obtaining temporary permits. Finally, it repeals the original sections of law that are being amended.
