Decision Question
Should the board treat Engineer F's adjudicated contractor license revocation as categorically requiring disclosure — distinguishing it from the mere allegation Engineer A faced in BER 97-11 — or apply the same prudential weighing standard that permitted Engineer A to exercise discretion about disclosure?
Focus
The board must determine how the Allegation-Adjudication Distinction drawn from BER Case 97-11 — where Engineer A faced only a pending ethics complaint and was not categorically required to disclose — applies to calibrate Engineer F's disclosure threshold, given that Engineer F's contractor license revocation was a formally adjudicated finding rather than an unresolved allegation.
Option1
Treat the formally adjudicated contractor license revocation as categorically requiring disclosure on the employment application, distinguishing it from BER 97-11's unresolved allegation on the grounds that adjudicative finality eliminates the epistemic uncertainty that justified Engineer A's prudential weighing.
Option2
Extend the same prudential weighing standard applied to Engineer A in BER 97-11 to Engineer F's situation, permitting Engineer F to weigh the risks and benefits of disclosing the contractor license revocation rather than imposing a categorical obligation, on the grounds that the contractor domain is sufficiently distinct from PE practice.
Option3
Adopt a graduated disclosure threshold that requires disclosure when the adjudicated finding arises in a safety-critical domain proximate to PE practice (as here, fire protection), but permits prudential weighing when the adjudicated finding arises in a domain genuinely remote from engineering obligations, thereby calibrating the obligation to both adjudicative finality and domain relevance.
