The Florida Legislature found that it was necessary in the interest of public health and safety to regulate the practice of engineering in the State of Florida and thus created Chapter 471, Florida Statutes, the Engineering Registration Law. Under this law the Florida Board of Professional Engineers is responsible for reviewing applications, administering examinations, licensing qualified applicants, and regulating the practice of engineering throughout the state.

Chairman’s Message
In December of 2007, I was elected as Chair of the Board of Professional Engineers for the year of 2008. I would like to express my appreciation to my fellow Board members for their confidence in my abilities to take on this role of leadership. I look forward to many challenges facing the  Board with regards to rulemaking, licensing and disciplinary actions. One of the major tasks carried over from 2007 was the rewrite of Chapter 61G15-30, Responsibility Rules Common to All Engineers; Chapter 61G15-32, Responsibility Rules of Professional Engineers Concerning the Design of Fire Protection Systems; Chapter 61G15-33, Responsibility Rules of Professional Engineers Concerning the Design of Electrical Systems; and Chapter 61G15-34, Mechanical Systems. The Rules rewrite reflect building code revisions and provide uniformity in language between disciplines. This monumental task was accomplished through coordinated efforts of our past Chair Henn Rebane and the Florida Engineering Society. At the request of the Board, FES took on the task, appointed teams and completed a final rule draft that was presented to the Board. The Board accepted the drafts and continued the process of allowing public input by conducting a rules workshop on January 22, 2008.
Comments from the workshop are now under consideration and rulemaking should be completed in the very near future.
The Board recently initiated efforts for the rewrite of Chapter 61G15-31.003 through 31.009, Florida Administrative Code pertaining to structures.
