Allows county employees to count code compliance review experience toward professional engineering licensure.
This bill modifies the criteria for professional engineering licensure in Hawaii to include code compliance review of plans for construction as lawful experience in engineering work. This change aims to address the shortage of licensed professional engineers in county planning departments, which has led to lengthy plan review periods. By recognizing this experience, the bill seeks to incentivize county employees to remain in public service and attract new talent to these positions.
