What’s in it

AI summary People applying to become professional engineers would no longer have to prove they have practical work experience before taking their licensing exam. Other experience requirements for these applicants will stay the same.¹

Read the official explanation

This bill eliminates the requirement that applicants for licensure as a professional engineer show necessary practical experience in engineering work prior to taking an examination designed to determine their proficiency and qualifications to engage in the practice of engineering. The bill does not alter other experience requirements applicable to such applicants.
