Summary


Changes are made to Subsections R156-22-102(5), R156-22-102(6)(d), and R156-22-102(7) to modify the code reference to the state construction and fire codes adopted under Title 15A. Additionally, this change removes unnecessary language from Subsection R156-22-102(14), and clearly defines "recognized jurisdiction", for the purpose of licensure by endorsement, as a jurisdiction that is a member of the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). In Section R156-22-302b, this change removes the language "formerly known as the Center for Professional Engineering Education Services (CPEES)" referenced in Subsections R156-22-302b(1)(c) and R156-22-302b(2)(e), as it is no longer necessary. Section R156-22-302c addresses an inconsistency created by prior rule changes that implemented the statutory repeal of the former experience-only track for licensure. The qualifying supervised experience requirement for professional land surveyors with an associate's degree is amended from four to six years, which brings the total combined education and experience requirement for all applicants to eight years. In Section R156-22-302d, this change repeals Subsections R156-22-302d(1)(a)(iii) and R156-22-302d(2)(a)(i) that require an applicant for licensure as a professional engineer or a professional structural engineer, respectively, to pass the Utah Law and Rules Examination. The examination is currently included as part of the application for licensure. Additionally, this change removes "prior to April 2011" in Subsection R156-22-302d(2)(a)(iii)(B) and "prior to January 1, 2004" in Subsection R156-22-302d(2)(a)(iii)(C) as these dates are no longer necessary. In Section R156-22-503, this change removes the language, "to individuals licensed" from the entry clause of the Subsection R156-22-503(1) in order to make it uniform with Section 58-22-501 regarding unlawful conduct and unlicensed practice. In Section R156-22-601, this change clarifies the seal requirement to allow for electronically generated signatures.
