Dear Licensee:
This communication is to inform you of recent legislation affecting architects, professional engineers and professional land surveyors.
On June 3, 2024, Gov. Jared Polis Signed HB24-1329, Sunset Architects Engineers & Land Surveyors, into law.
This bill implements the following recommendations from the Department of Regulatory Agency’s sunset review:
- The Board is continued for nine years;
- adds in a failure to respond to allegations of a complaint within the length of time specified by the board;
- updates statutory references to the names of examinations for professional engineers and professional land surveyors;
- repeals the requirement that board members be citizens of the United States and residents of Colorado;
- repeals the requirement that applicants supply a business address on a license application;
- requires continuing education to renew a professional land surveyors license and grants the board rulemaking authority to establish these continuing education requirements;
- replaces references in current law regarding the Occupational Credential Portability Program; and,
- requires an applicant for licensure by endorsement as an architect to hold a license in good standing from another jurisdiction with qualification requirements that are substantially equivalent to the qualification requirements in this state; and makes a technical amendment to replace gendered pronouns with gender neutral terms.
Other new laws affecting your profession include:
Implementation of these changes is in process. Questions may be referred to dora_AESboard@state.co.us. Please visit the DPO Legislative Update webpage for all updates affecting licensees under the Division’s regulatory authority. Thank you.
