6755.1. (a) The second division of the examination for registration as a professional engineer shall include questions to test the applicant’s knowledge of state laws and the board’s rules and regulations regulating the practice of professional engineering. The board shall administer the test on state laws and board rules regulating the practice of engineering in this state as a separate part of the second division of the examination for registration as a professional engineer.

(b) On and after April 1, 1988, the second division of the examination for registration as a civil engineer shall also include questions to test the applicant’s knowledge of seismic principles and engineering surveying principles as defined in Section 6731.1. No registration for a civil engineer shall be issued by the board on or after January 1, 1988, to any applicant unless they have successfully completed questions to test their knowledge of seismic principles and engineering surveying principles.

The board shall administer the questions to test the applicant’s knowledge of seismic principles and engineering surveying principles as separate parts of the second division of the examination for registration as a civil engineer.

It is the intent of the Legislature that this section confirm the authority of the board to issue registrations prior to April 1, 1988, to applicants based on examinations not testing the applicant’s knowledge of seismic principles and engineering surveying principles as defined in Section 6731.1.

(Amended by Stats. 2024, Ch. 588, Sec. 10. (AB 3253) Effective January 1, 2025.)
