Tuesday, May 14 Colorado Licensure Interest / Kick-off Meeting (In-person and Teams option) The aim of the legislation is two-fold. The first statute will: 1) define a professional geologist and the minimum requirements for licensure, including formal education, passage of competency examination(s) and years of practical experience, and 2) create a Board of Licensure for Professional Geologists (most likely will be incorporated under the board for architects, engineers and land surveyors). The second statute will reinstate the Colorado statute that any geologic report or portion of a report which incorporates, or is based on, a geologic study or on geologic data, required by municipal, county, state or federal laws, ordinances or regulations, shall be prepared by or under the supervision of a licensed professional geologist. The current draft legislation has both a healthy exemption for mining, petroleum exploration and development, federal employees, research or teachers, and a grandfather clause that exempts the written examination for geologists residing in Colorado that meet the other requirements for a period of one year. We value your time and expertise and hope the Colorado geologic community will participate in this discussion and provide us with valuable input to the initiative. Dinner will be provided, reservations not needed, but please email Sean Sundermann at [email protected] to let him know if you are planning to attend. Questions or comments? Please contact Sean.
