This online engineering PDH course explains the legal authority, statutory framework, and administrative regulations that govern the practice of land surveying.
This course details the regulatory jurisdiction of the licensing Board, contrasting its enforcement powers with the civil courts that resolve property boundary and contract disputes. It systematizes the legal mandates of the state's engineering and land surveying Act, focusing on licensing requirements, certificate of authorization rules for firms, and the proper use of professional seals.
Furthermore, the course prescribes strict administrative standards of practice, including mandatory timelines for address changes, reporting out-of-state disciplinary actions, and responding to official board inquiries.
