SB655 was passed by the PA Legislature and was signed by the Governor on 11/29/06. The Bill requires that all licensed and practicing engineers fulfill a mandatory 24 hours of continuing education every two years. The act will take effect in 60 days; however, the PA Board will have 18 months to promulgate the regulations. The PA Board will send out a mass mailing, when applicable, to inform Pennsylvania Professional Engineers of the specifics of the requirements. See the Bill for further information.
