NSPE and the Nevada Society of Professional Engineers are joining forces to ensure that the work of the Nevada State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors is not compromised by a regulatory review. The Nevada Sunset Subcommittee of the Legislative Commission is reviewing the board and 25 others to determine whether any of them should be terminated, modified, consolidated with another board, or continued. In a joint letter, NSPE President Tom Roberts, P.E., F.NSPE, and Nevada Society of Professional Engineers President Craig Sisco, P.E., wrote: “The Nevada Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors is the mainstay of engineering licensure in the state and is critical to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare; Nevada’s economic competitiveness; and comity with all other states. We strongly urge the commission to recommend in its final report that no changes be made to the structure or status of the board.” NSPE and the Nevada Society will continue to actively support the Nevada Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors and provide updates as they become available.
