ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS – Amends existing law to provide for the Idaho Board of Licensure of Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors to determine and administer an appropriate open book jurisprudence exam for the licensing of surveyors.

H 512 requires Idaho's Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors to create and administer a new "open book jurisprudence exam" specifically for surveyor licensing. This bill directly affects individuals seeking surveyor licenses in Idaho, changing the exam format from previous requirements to allow reference materials during the test. The key provision amends existing law (Section 54-1208) to mandate this exam type, which focuses on professional knowledge rather than memorization. The bill does not alter other licensing requirements or the board's broader regulatory authority. The exam will apply to all surveyor applicants starting July 1, 2026.
