Protect Professional Licensure for Engineers
Engineering professional licensure has protected public health, safety, and welfare for over a century by ensuring that engineers meet the technical proficiency requirements of the states where they are licensed. However, professional licensure is under attack in states across the country by groups arguing that licensure poses a barrier to entry in the marketplace. The following short video quickly reviews the importance of licensure; emphasizes that licensure is not about restricting competition but protecting the public; and urges state legislators to protect licensure when it is attacked. We urge you to watch the video and share it with your colleagues, stakeholder groups, and state legislators.
