  2. Title 59

A. The Board shall issue to any applicant who, in the opinion

of the Board, has met the requirements of this act, a license giving

the licensee proper authority to practice in this state. The

license for a professional engineer shall carry the designation

"Professional Engineer", for a professional structural engineer

shall carry the designation "Professional Structural Engineer", and

for a professional surveyor, "Professional Surveyor". It shall give

the full name of the licensee with the license number of the

licensee and shall be signed by the Chair and the Secretary under

the seal of the Board.

B. This license shall be prima facie evidence that the person

named thereon is entitled to all rights, privileges and

responsibilities of a professional engineer, professional structural

engineer, or professional surveyor, while the license remains active

and in good standing.

C. Each licensee hereunder may obtain a seal, the design and

use of which are described in Board rules. It shall be unlawful for

a licensee to affix, or permit his or her seal or signature to be

affixed, to any document after the expiration or revocation of a

license, or for the purpose of aiding or abetting any other person

to evade or attempt to evade any provision of this act. Whenever

the seal is applied, the document must be signed by the licensee

thereby certifying that he or she is competent in the subject matter

and was in responsible charge of the work product. Documents must

be sealed and signed in accordance with the Board rules whenever

presented to a client, a user or any public or governmental agency.

Whenever the seal is applied, the signature of the licensee and date

of signature shall be placed adjacent to or across the seal.

Drawings, reports or documents that are signed using a digital or

electronic signature must be done in a manner that is in direct

control and personal supervision of the professional and must

conform to the specifications in the Board rules regarding digital

or electronic signatures.

D. A professional or firm shall retain a hard copy or

electronic copy of all technical submissions produced for a minimum

of ten (10) years following the date of preparation.

E. The Board shall issue to any applicant who, in the opinion

of the Board, has met the requirements of this act, a certificate as

an engineer intern or surveyor intern which indicates that his or

her name has been recorded as such in the Board office. The

engineer intern or surveyor intern certificate does not authorize

the holder to practice as a professional engineer or professional

surveyor.
