Existing law, the Professional Engineers Act, provides for the licensing and regulation of the practice of civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, and the Professional Land Surveyors Act provides for licensing and regulation of land surveying by the Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. A violation of these acts is a crime. Existing law requires that any civil engineering, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering plans and other specified documents, prepared by a registered engineer, that are permitted or that are to be released for construction shall bear the signature and seal or stamp of the registrant, the date of signing and sealing or stamping, and the expiration date of the certificate, authority, or registration. This bill would instead require that these documents bear the signature and seal of the licensee and the date of signing and sealing or stamping. Existing law permits a licensed land surveyor to obtain a stamp or seal with the designation "Licensed Land Surveyor" containing the expiration date of the license. Existing law requires that specified multiple page land surveying documents contain the signature, seal or stamp, date of signing and sealing or stamping, and expiration date of the license on specified pages. This bill require licensed land surveyors to obtain the stamp or seal and would eliminate the requirement that the license expiration date appear on the stamp or seal and the multiple page land surveying documents. This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical, and conforming changes. Because the bill would impose new requirements on licensed land surveyors, the violation of which would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
