Some entering hours of continuing professional development (CPD). have separate boards and some boards govern more than To better serve the Engineers and Surveyors of Louisiana, the engineering and surveying. With all the different registration rules of the board (LAPELS) are being modified to change board compositions, it is difficult to have everyone exactly requiring biannual CPD hours to requiring annual CPD hours. the same. Tie to this that law making can be unpredictable, While the transition may not be easy, with the help of many at best, not many boards want to open their law to change of you we believe the latest changes to the proposed rules will because other unintended changes may occur. So how help each of you keep track of your hours and make it easier do we work towards a more universal law for the United to be licensed in multiple jurisdictions. States of America? Or a better question could be how do we work towards a universal law for our world? Yes, more As you can see several small changes are being made to help registrants not US citizens are requesting to be registered and our professions. You can see the latest information at the more engineering graduates worldwide are taking the NCEES national level by going to the NCEES website: http://ncees. prepared exams. org to stay informed. I suggest you go to the LAPELS website http://www.lapels.com and review the laws and rules, which I bring this up because it is relatively easy for a Model Law you must be familiar with to be in compliance. You can engineer or surveyor to become licensed in multiple states. also find much information about your profession and any NCEES has prepared for each of you a database to allow you changes being proposed. to enter your education, test history and experience. This will help you should you want multiple jurisdiction registration. I close with reminding each of you of your responsibility to The latest plans from NCEES are to administer the professional the public. Let’s work together to always protect it.

n the last few years our Profession, the licensure process, and the licensure laws and rules have been attacked by special interest groups and by individuals who do not want to Icomply with the licensure Laws & Rules to practice engineering. Compliance with the Louisiana Professional Engineering and Land Surveying Board’s (LAPELS) laws and Rules is paramount to safeguard life, health, and property and to promote the public welfare. Chris Richard, PE This year is no different as we have had to once again defend our profession from outside interest. Led by the LES Legislative Committee with the assistance of our newly retained lobbyist, Haynie and Associates, we have been successful in protecting the engineering profession this year. The battle is far from over, but we have definitely had a stronger voice at the capital this session.
We would like to thank all of those that have donated to our legislative efforts. All engineers benefit from these efforts and we encourage others to donate and help LES continue to protect our profession.
