SECTION 133.11. Types of Licenses

The board shall receive, evaluate and process all applications for licensure as a professional engineer received from individuals who assert through the application process that they meet the minimum requirements of §1001.302 of the Act. The board shall deny a license to any applicant found not to have met all requirements of the Act and board rules.

(2) Reciprocal License. The board does not recognize any jurisdiction for reciprocity at this time.

(3) Temporary License.

(A) A temporary license holder shall be subject to all other rules and legal requirements to which a holder of a standard license is subject. A temporary license may only be renewed twice for a total maximum duration of three years.

(B) After a temporary license has expired, a former temporary license holder may not apply for a subsequent temporary license.

(C) A current temporary license holder may initiate the standard licensure process.

(4) Provisional. The board does not issue provisional licenses at this time.
