AB 670

Under this bill, any rule promulgated by the Examining Board of Architects,

Landscape Architects, Professional Engineers, Designers, and Professional Land

Surveyors establishing continuing education requirements 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.
