Existing law, the Professional Engineers Act and the Professional Land Surveyors' Act, provide for the licensure and regulation of engineers and land surveyors by the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists. Existing law, the Architects Practice Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of architects by the California Architects Board. Existing law, the Uniform Partnership Act of 1994, authorizes the formation of registered limited liability partnerships and foreign limited liability partnerships, as specified. Existing law authorizes persons licensed to engage in the practice of engineering, land surveying, or architecture to form registered limited liability partnerships and foreign limited liability partnerships if specified conditions are met. Existing law requires a registered limited liability partnership or foreign limited liability partnership providing architectural, engineering, or land surveying services to comply with requirements, as specified, for claims based upon acts, errors, or omissions arising out of those services. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2026. This bill would extend the operation of the above-described provisions to January 1, 2034, and make conforming changes. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Sections 6738 and 8729 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 3253 to be operative only if this bill and AB 3253 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
