A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED LAND SURVEYORS ON THE STATE BOARD OF ENGINEERS AND LAND SURVEYORS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 89C-4 reads as rewritten:
"§ 89C-4.  State Board of Registration; appointment; terms.
A State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, whose duty it is to administer the provisions of this Chapter, is created. The Board shall consist of four registered professional engineers, four registered land surveyors and two public members, who are neither professional engineers nor land surveyors. Of the land surveyor members, one and only one may hold dual registration as a land surveyor and professional engineer. All of the members shall be appointed by the Governor. Appointments of the engineer and land surveyor members shall preferably, but not necessarily, be made from a list of nominees submitted by the professional societies for engineers and land surveyors in this State. Each member of the Board shall receive a certificate of appointment from the Governor and shall file with the Secretary of State his written oath or affirmation for the faithful discharge of his duties.
Members of the Board serve for staggered five-year terms, and no member may be appointed for more than two full terms. Members serve until the expiration of their respective terms and until their respective successors are appointed. If a vacancy occurs during a term, the Governor shall appoint a successor from the same classification as the person causing the vacancy to serve for the remainder of the unexpired term. If the vacancy is not filled within 90 days after it occurs, the Board may appoint a provisional member to serve until the appointment by the Governor becomes effective. The provisional member during his tenure has all the powers and duties of a regular member."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.  A registered land surveyor shall be appointed to fill the membership position created by this act within 30 days of the ratification of this act.
