1973 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 1321

HOUSE BILL 1685

 

 

AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER 89 OF THE GENERAL STATUTES TO PROVIDE FOR RENEWAL OF A LAND SURVEYOR'S LICENSE.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 89-8 is amended by striking out that part of the last paragraph of the section beginning in Line 13 of that paragraph with the words "Renewal may be effected at any time" and ending at the end of the section, and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

"Renewal of certificates for registration for land surveyors which have expired by failure of reason to renew on time shall be effected at any time thereafter upon payment of the annual renewal fee plus ten dollars ($10.00). Renewal of certificates for registration for engineers may be effected at any time during the first thirty-six months immediately following its invalidation on payment of the renewal fee increased ten percent (10%) for each month or fraction of a month that payment for renewal is delayed. Failure of an engineering registrant to renew his registration for a period of thirty-six months shall require the individual, prior to resuming practice in North Carolina, to submit an application therefor on the prescribed form, and to meet all other requirements for registration as set forth in G.S. 89-7. The Board may enact rules to provide for renewals in distress or hardship cases due to military service, prolonged illness, or prolonged absence from the State, when the applicant for renewal demonstrates to the Board that they have maintained an active knowledge and professional status as an engineer. It shall be the responsibility of each registrant to inform the Board promptly concerning change in address."

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 12th day of April, 1974.
