Mo. Code Regs. tit. 20 § 2030-11.030

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 24, December 16, 2024

Section 20 CSR 2030-11.030 - Professional Engineer Renewal and Reactivation of Licensure

PURPOSE: This rule is being amended to include reference to retired status.

(1) Licenses not renewed on or before the renewal date become non-current and subject to the provisions of section 327.261, RSMo. No person is entitled to practice as a professional engineer unless he/she holds a current and active license.

(2) In order to renew a license, the licensee must:

(A) Submit a completed renewal application form furnished by the board;

(B) Pay the required fee; provided however, a licensee who is at least seventy-five (75) years of age at the time the renewal is due need not pay any fee; and

(C) Submit a completed Professional Development Hour (PDH) form furnished by the board verifying that the licensee has completed at least thirty (30) PDHs during the preceding two (2) calendar years unless otherwise exempted.

(3) Licensees, who so attest on their renewal that they are retired from active practice or are not engaged in the active practice of engineering, may place their license in an inactive status pursuant to section 327.271.1, RSMo. Those doing so cannot practice but can still retain the title of professional engineer and use the letters "PE" behind their name. Such professional engineer may, however, reenter practice only after he/she pays the required fee and in addition, completes thirty (30) Professional Development Hours within the two (2) years immediately prior to the date of reactivation.
