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 outlined qualifications 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 professional engineers and land surveyors seeking registration through reciprocity or endorsement. For engineers, it mandates that applicants must provide a record from the national council demonstrating they have at least four years of relevant experience, passed a national examination, or obtained a degree. For land surveyors, the bill requires passing an examination on surveying methods and legal principles as prescribed by the AZBTR. These updates aim to enhance the standards for professional registration in Arizona while ensuring public safety and welfare.
