Terminating the Board of Registration for PE's

Terminating the Board of Registration for PE's

(OP)
Here in CA, Arnold is proposing the elimination of many appointed boards and commissions, including the Board of Registration for Professional Engineers (see http://www.sacbee.com/content/politics/story/10198768p-11119354c.html).

The article implies that this function would be taken over by another entity. I'm wondering if this would signal an end to "self-policing" and what it would mean for the ease/difficulty of gaining licensure.

I also wonder what this might mean in terms of industry exemption here in the Golden State.

I believe that in Delaware the PE board is private or quai-govt.  It seems to work okay.

All Canadian associations are self-governing. That means that they are made up by and paid for by the profession. They and they alone decide who gets into the profession and are responsible for policing the actions of the members as well as prosecuting the members of the public who practice engineering without a license.

This works well.

Remember it is the hallmark of a true profession that the profession govern itself.
