The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding professional registration with the Arizona Board of Technical Registration (AZBTR) by adding new qualifications for registration through reciprocity or endorsement. Specifically, it would establish that individuals who meet the qualifications outlined in the new section are eligible for registration as professional engineers, architects, land surveyors, or landscape architects in Arizona. The bill would require applicants to hold a valid license or certification from the appropriate authority in another jurisdiction and a certification or model law designation from the relevant national council.

Additionally, the bill introduces specific requirements for applicants seeking registration as professional engineers or land surveyors. For engineers, it mandates that applicants must provide evidence of experience, pass a national examination, or possess a relevant degree. For land surveyors, the bill stipulates that applicants must pass an examination on surveying methods and legal principles as determined by the AZBTR. These updates aim to streamline the registration process while ensuring that applicants meet established professional standards.
