Does anyone know if Illinois specifically requires an SE license for structural work?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

But the flip side is that an Illinois SE can sign off on architectural work, as well.

I passed the Civil PE exam in 1993 and the SEII a few years ago but that and my 20 years of experience isn't good enough for Illinois. Yet you can seal structural drawings as an RA.

This is one of the reasons I quit ASCE. ASCE is of the position that only the "structural" engineering clique can do structural design or use the title "structural engineer". Also, ASCE doesn't want people to be engineers unless they have at least a masters degree.
It is confusing to the public when they want structural design work done by an engineer--but the title "structural engineer" is reserved via a successful (self-interest) lobbying effort.
Just my 2 cents.

Never know maybe you know something I don't and have a better point of view. I'm here to learn. So what is it? What is the special reason?
RE: Illinois SE
But, the fact that an Illinois RA can seal structural drawings is a flat out joke. That's where the special interest is. Maybe I am uninformed but I doubt I could find a RA that could run seismic numbers and design for me.

Actaully - they should have licensed rope tying persons or windoe washers - they were the ones who screwed that up...

My own familiarity with the act is that it was reinstated in 1989 following the Loma Prieta earthquake. Most all of southern Illinois say I-64 and south is affected by the New Madrid Seismic Zone. North of I-64 is also affected by the more active Walbash Valley seismic zone.
Perhaps someone with knowledge of the original enacted can provide some info.

Yeah, I was a little shocked what my NCEES record didn't contain too. I had to get my base state to send them the results for my SE I & II. (A little nuts considering NCEES writes and grades the exam. And I just recently took the SE II.)
Maybe we'll hear something by the weekend.
