False advertising with regard to expired state PE
False advertising with regard to expired state PE
(OP)
Let's say someone has a website that indicates thay have PE license in 5 states, for example Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
Check with Texas PE website indicates no record this person is registered. http://www.tbpe.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/NewSearch/get.cgi?db=rpe
It might be that their TX PE has expired, I don't know.
Is this just a minor inconsistency, or a breach of PE ethics?
