PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 542B.14, subsection 1, paragraph a, 1 2 subparagraph (3), Code 1997, is amended to read as follows: 1 3 (3) Between July 1, 1988, and June 30,19911994, in lieu 1 4 of compliance with subparagraph (1), the board shall require 1 5 satisfactory completion of a minimum of two years of 1 6 postsecondary study in mathematics, physical sciences, 1 7 engineering technology, or engineering at an institution 1 8 approved by the board, and may accept six years' practical 1 9 experience which, in the opinion of the board, is of 1 10 satisfactory character to properly prepare the applicant for 1 11 the examination in fundamental engineering subjects. An 1 12 applicant qualifying for examination in fundamental 1 13 engineering subjects pursuant to this subparagraph shall 1 14 successfully complete the examination on or before June 30, 1 15 2004. 1 16 Sec. 2. This Act applies retroactively to July 1, 1991. 1 17 EXPLANATION 1 18 This bill relates to the requirements for licensure as a 1 19 professional engineer pursuant to Code section 542B.14, 1 20 subsection 1. One of the requirements necessary for 1 21 licensure, as provided in Code section 542B.14, subsection 1, 1 22 paragraph "a", concerns preparation to take an examination in 1 23 fundamental engineering subjects leading to the designation of 1 24 engineer intern. Beginning July 1, 1988, an applicant to take 1 25 the examination must have graduated from a four-year course in 1 26 engineering. Previously, an applicant could qualify for the 1 27 examination if the individual had completed a two-year course 1 28 in engineering and had six years of practical experience. 1 29 Pursuant to paragraph "a", subparagraph (3), however, 1 30 applicants were given a "window" period, until June 30, 1991, 1 31 during which they could continue to qualify for the 1 32 examination with a two-year degree and six years of 1 33 experience. The bill provides for the expansion of this 1 34 window period until June 30, 1994, to allow individuals to 1 35 qualify who had entered a two-year program prior to the change 2 1 in requirements, and also provides that individuals qualifying 2 2 for the examination pursuant to subparagraph (3) must 2 3 successfully complete testing prior to June 30, 2004. 2 4 The bill is retroactively applicable to July 1, 1991. 2 5 LSB 3203XS 77 2 6 rn/jw/5
