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 definitions, for general powers of board, for procedure for licensing as professional engineer, for procedure for licensing as professional land surveyor, for continuing professional competency requirements, for fees and for penalties.

This bill updates the state laws governing the licensing of professional land surveyors. It establishes a new certification path for applicants who pass a fundamentals exam, allowing them to become surveyors-in-training without a time limit. To qualify for full licensure, candidates must demonstrate at least four years of progressive experience in land surveying or four years of teaching experience, with a requirement that their background includes a mix of field and office work. The legislation also clarifies definitions and outlines the procedures for obtaining a license and maintaining professional competency.
