Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Better defining the requirements to become licensed as a professional land surveyor, including possible language implementing RCW 18.43.110, and clarifying language that is no longer effective as needed to reflect current processes. Also, there may be possible amendments to language regarding professional development hours.

Process for Developing New Rule: Notice will be made to stakeholders and active licensees via the board of registration for professional engineers and land surveyors' (board) contact lists; and will be posted on our website and distributed through the board and board staff. Interested parties may contact the individual listed below and the public may also participate by commenting after amendments are proposed by providing written comments or giving oral testimony during the public hearing process.
