AB 934

Under current law, each section of the Examining Board of Architects,

Landscape Architects, Professional Engineers, Designers, and Professional Land

Surveyors (examining board) is authorized to establish by rule continuing education

requirements for renewal of a credential granted by the examining board.

Under this bill, any such rules must provide that an applicant for credential

renewal who is at least 65 years of age or who has actively maintained that credential

for a minimum of 30 consecutive years is exempt from continuing education

requirements upon certification to the examining board that the applicant has

retired from professional practice and no longer engages in that practice. An exempt

person may maintain his or her professional title but may not engage in the relevant

practice. Also, under the bill, an exempt person must pay only one-half of the

applicable renewal fee to maintain his or her professional credential.
