864 IAC 1.1-5-1 Comity registration standards

Sec. 1. (a) This rule addresses the requirements for registration of professional engineers who are registered in another state, territory, or possession of the United States. These applicants are also known as comity applicants. (b) Under IC 25-31-1-21, one (1) requirement for an individual described in subsection (a) to become registered in Indiana is that the requirements under which the individual's registration was issued do not conflict with IC 25-31-1. (c) In determining whether there is conflict under IC 25-31-1-21 and subsection (b), the board will evaluate whether the applicant meets the educational, experience, and examination requirements found in IC 25-31-1 and this title. This includes the educational and experience requirements found in 864 IAC 1.1-2.1-3 through 864 IAC 1.1-2.1-5, and passing the fundamentals of engineering examination and principles and practice of engineering examination required by IC 25-31-1-14 and 864 IAC 1.1-4.1-3. The board, in its discretion, may waive the requirement that an applicant for registration by comity pass the fundamentals of engineering examination. (d) Unless the applicant does not qualify for registration for some other appropriate reason, if the educational, experience, and examination requirements described in subsection (c) are met at the time the applicant files the applicant's application with the board, the applicant will qualify for registration.
