Text references
In the view of the BER, providing verbal engineering input at a public meeting where a public board is relying on such input in its decision-making is likely to be determined to be the practice of engineering, requiring licensure in that jurisdiction.
Laws regarding the practice of engineering vary from state to state and should be checked.
Practitioners should consult the governing statutes and regulations to determine the applicable definition of the practice of engineering.
