I have always supported CE on a voluntary basis. Helps us keep current and can broaden knowledge - etc. But why make CE an annual requirement? Is there a specific problem or an area of engineering that's need our attention? If there is - spell it out and then regulate a specific requirement for CE to solve the problem. Otherwise, we'll see a whole bunch of bogus CE courses offered to 'meet' the annual requirement. How about a weekend hands-on seminar in golf course design/construction/maintenance by Robert Trent? Practical and fun.
For this retired fee paying engineer, if this passes without addressing specific current needs I'll be saving some money every 2 years when I elect NOT to renew my license.
