I recommend the board include the following language in the regulations:
D. A regulant shall not utilize the design, drawings, specifications, or work of another regulant to complete the design, drawings, specifications, or work, or to replicate like design, drawings, specifications, or work without the knowledge and written consent of the person or organization that owns the design, drawings, specifications, or work. E. A professional who has received permission to modify or otherwise utilize the designs, drawings, specifications, or work of another professional pursuant to subsection D of this section may seal that work only after a thorough review of the design, drawings, specifications, or work to the extent that full responsibility shall be assumed for all design, drawings, specifications, or work. F. The information contained in recorded plats or surveys may be utilized by another professional without permission. If modifications are made to the plats or surveys, the professional must conduct a thorough review and verification of the work to the extent that full responsibility shall be assumed for any changes or modifications to the plats or surveys. Good standing in other jurisdictions. A. A regulant licensed, certified, or registered to practice soil science or design in other jurisdictions shall be in good standing in every jurisdiction where licensed, certified, or registered. B. A regulant who has received a reprimand, civil penalty, or monetary penalty, or whose license, certificate or registration is revoked, suspended, denied, or surrendered as a result of a disciplinary action by another jurisdiction, shall be subject to discipline by the board if the regulant’s action constitutes a violation of the provisions of Chapters 1 through 4 of Title 54.1, or Chapters 7 and 13 of Title 13.1 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, or the regulations adopted by the board. C. A regulant who has received a reprimand, civil penalty, or monetary penalty, or whose license, certificate or registration is revoked, suspended, denied, or surrendered as a result of a disciplinary action by another jurisdiction, must notify the board of such action within 30 days.
