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. 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.
