H.B. 232
128th General Assembly
(As Introduced)
Reps. Snitchler and Yates, Gardner, Boose, Huffman, McClain, Domenick
BILL SUMMARY
· Eliminates the requirement for a county engineer to be a registered surveyor.
· Requires the office of the county engineer to have a registered surveyor on its staff if the county engineer is not a registered surveyor.
CONTENT AND OPERATION
Current law requires a county engineer to be a registered professional engineer and a registered surveyor, licensed to practice in Ohio (sec. 315.02 and Chapter 4733.). Under the bill, the county engineer need not be a registered surveyor, but, if the county engineer is not a registered surveyor, the office of the county engineer must have a registered surveyor on staff to fulfill the surveying duties of the office or must contract for surveying services (secs. 305.15, 315.02, and 315.08).[1] The removed registered surveyor requirement applies only to county engineers whose initial election or appointment to office is after the bill's effective date (Section 3).
