What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under the bill, the title of a classification in the classified service may not

include the word “engineer” unless the classification requires that an individual

employed in that classification 1) is registered as a professional engineer with the

Examining Board of Architects, Landscape Architects, Professional Engineers,

Designers, and Professional Land Surveyors; or 2) has at least a bachelor of science

degree in engineering or a degree in mathematics that is higher than a bachelor's

degree. The bill also requires each appointing authority in the state civil service to

prohibit his or her employees from holding themselves out to the public as engineers

unless the employee satisfies the criteria described above.
