§ 6710 Board For Professional Engineers

Key Takeaways

  • •There is a special group of 15 people in California who make rules for engineers, land surveyors, and geologists.
  • •If any old law or rule mentions a smaller group for just engineers and land surveyors, it now means this bigger group that includes geologists too.
  • •This rule will disappear on January 1, 2029, unless the government decides to keep it.

Example

Imagine you are an engineer working in California. You need to follow the rules set by a board.

Before, there was a board just for engineers and land surveyors, but now there is a bigger board that also includes geologists. So, if an old rule says you have to listen to the old board, it really means you have to listen to this new, bigger board instead. But remember, this new board might not exist after 2029.
