 CHAIRMAN PETE KOTT announced the first order of business would be

 Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors;                   
 clarifying the meaning of practicing or offering to practice                  
 architecture, engineering, or land surveying; and amending the                
 definition of `practice of land surveying.'"                                  
                                                                               
 MARY VOLLENDORF, Administrative Assistant to Senator Loren Leman,             
 sponsor of the measure, testified via teleconference on behalf of             
 Senator Leman.  She said the bill is a architects, engineers and              
 land surveyors (AELS) cleanup bill.  Section 1 relates to the                 
 qualifications and (indisc.) territory (indisc.) or a foreign                 
 country.  They would have to have their application verified by the           
 board and then have their application reviewed and register in                
 accordance with regulations of the board.                                     
                                                                               
 MS. VOLLENDORF explained Section 2 relates to requiring status                
 registration.  On retiring from the practice of engineering, there            
 is a one-time fee and once the registrant is in good standing they            
 may apply for the conversion of a certificate of registration to a            
 retired status registration.  They will not be able to practice               
 architecture, engineering or land surveying, but may reapply for a            
 certificate of registration.                                                  
                                                                               
 MS. VOLLENDORF said Section 3 just adds the word "or."                        
                                                                               
 MS. VOLLENDORF explained in Section 4 a couple of technical words             
 were added for the (indisc.) of land surveying.
