Source Evidence
Source text
A key message from this case is that, when considering reporting the unethical practices of others vis-à-vis state licensure law, engineers need to look to the specific Rules of Professional Conduct of the individual engineering licensing jurisdiction in which the others are practicing since those rules vary by jurisdiction.

A key message from this case is that, when considering reporting the unethical practices of others vis-à-vis state licensure law, engineers need to look to the specific Rules of Professional Conduct of the individual engineering licensing jurisdiction in which the others are practicing since those rules vary by jurisdiction.
The situation in State Z is different.
With respect to the obligation to report to the engineering licensing board in State Q, the language presented in the case regarding State Q's Rules appears very similar to the language in the NSPE Code of Ethics.
