Laws and Regulations Governing Florida Professional Engineers
25
This course will review the most recent legislative changes that regulate a professional engineer. The Florida Legislature enacted Statute Chapter 471 to regulate the practice of engineering and ensure the health, life, property, and safety of the public. The statute holds the Florida Board of Professional Engineers (FBPE) responsible for reviewing applications, administering exams, licensing qualified applicants, and regulating and enforcing the proper practice of engineering in the state (FBPE, 2015).
