SB 1226 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of May 23, 1945 (P.L.913, No.367), known as the Engineer, Land Surveyor and Geologist Registration Law, further providing for exemption from licensure and registration.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's registration law to exempt certain employees and contractors of public utilities, electric cooperatives, and telecommunications providers from needing professional licensure for their engineering, land surveying, or geology work. The exemption applies only when these organizations already employ at least one licensed professional engineer and one licensed land surveyor who are responsible for overseeing the work, or when the telecommunications work is not incidental to engineering or surveying services. By allowing these specific groups to operate without individual licenses, the legislation aims to reduce regulatory burdens while maintaining oversight through the requirement that a licensed professional remains in charge of the company's technical operations.
