You will need 8 hours of Continuing Education Credit to renew your license to practice in 2010. Please continue to report CE credit to the Board throughout 2009, as you have done in the past. New rules have been proposed that WILL NOT impact the reporting of continuing education this year. The new rules will impact CE reporting in 2010. Next year, 2010, you will be responsible for maintaining your own record of CE courses. When renewing, you will be asked if you have completed the required 8 hours of CE credit. If you answer yes, you will be able to renew. If you answer no, you will not be able to renew. The Board will audit approximately 5% of all registrants and ask for verification of the CE. If you are unable to provide verification, your license to practice will be suspended until such time as you are able to provide verification. See the proposed rules printed below for additional information.

The Board is aware of confusion regarding the number of continuing education hours needed for license renewal. The Board has proposed rules that require 8 hours of continuing education credit for license renewal. These rules do not change the number of hours needed. The rules do change the method of reporting the hours. Starting in January 2010, the Board will no longer maintain a record of CE courses taken. Each registrant will be responsible for maintaining their CE information, which will be subject to audit as noted above.

Rule 663.19 (4) states “Courses shall be referenced by notation upon the survey plat to an identifiable line for directional control.” In order for a line to be identifiable it must be physically marked.
