Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 5/2/2008 |
I oppose the proposed amendment to impose a continuing education requirement for architect, professional engineer, and land surveyor license holders. I obtained my Virginia PE liscence in Mechanical Engineering in the early 1980s and have practiced as a mechanical engineer for 28 years before retirng in 1999. Although I do not currently practice engineering I am proud to hold the licence and have elected to maintain it in case I may return to engineering in some capacity in the future. Due to numerous family responsibilities and other commitments, I would regretably be forced to relinquish my licence should this amendment be adopted. I echo many of the earlier comments submitted questioning the value gained from this proposal.
