An Act amending the act of May 23, 1945 (P.L.913, No.367), known as the Engineer, Land Surveyor and Geologist Registration Law, further providing for exemption from licensure and registration.
SB 215 amends Pennsylvania's licensing law to expand exemptions from professional engineering and land surveying licensure requirements. It specifically exempts regular employees of public utility companies (like gas or electric providers), electric cooperatives, and cable/internet service providers from needing individual licenses, provided their employers maintain at least one licensed engineer or land surveyor in responsible charge. The bill does not change licensing rules for other professionals or the general public. It directly affects workers in these specific industries by reducing licensure barriers for their roles. The changes take effect 60 days after enactment.
