I've worked with many engineers who have come here from other countries and other states.  One thing that all of those transferred VA PEs have in common is that they went through the same comity process that ensures everyone meets the same standard for the good of the Commonwealth.  The international group considers all member-country engineering programs to be equivalent.  We know that requirements differ from state to state and that is why states have a comity process.  The international group can make decisions that negatively impact Virginians and Virginia will have little to no say in the process.  Let's not change the law to appease an international organization that does not have Virginia's interests as a primary responsibility.  The comity process is a legitimate way to welcome foreign engineers while ensuring that we have full control over the direction of our Commonwealth.  This proposed change is not needed nor welcome.
