The proposed bill amends section 32-102 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the composition of the state board of technical registration. Key changes include increasing the number of architects from one to two, and the number of professional engineers from one to three, specifying that at least one must be a civil engineer and one a structural engineer. Additionally, the number of public members is reduced from six to three, while introducing new positions for one home inspector and one controlling person.
Furthermore, the bill allows board members to continue serving after their term expires until a successor is appointed by the governor. It also ensures that current members of the board can serve until their terms end, despite the changes made by the new legislation. The governor retains the authority to remove board members for misconduct, incapacity, or neglect of duty, and appointments to fill vacancies will be for the remaining portion of the term.
