History: 1959 act doubled fee for professional engineer, increased fees for engineer-in-training and land surveyor $5
and for combination $20 and made all fees payable when application is made; 1965 act added transfer to lower class
contingency in last sentence; 1971 act increased fees for professional engineer from $50 to $150, for engineer-in-training
from $15 to $25, for land surveyor from $25 to $100 and for combined certificate from $50 to $150; 1972 act reduced fees
for professional engineer to $50, for land surveyor to $25 and for combined certificate to $50, restoring fees obtaining
before 1971 act for all categories except engineer-in-training; P.A. 81-361 provided that the registration fee for an engineer-in-training includes the cost of only the first examination taken and eliminated a provision allowing the application of that
fee toward the fee for subsequent registration as a professional engineer and replaced board with department of consumer
protection as authority dispensing applications; P.A. 82-317 amended section to increase application and registration fee
for land surveyors from $25 to $50 and to eliminate partial refund upon transfer of application to a class requiring a lower
fee; P.A. 82-370 replaced references to registration with references to licensure; P.A. 83-360 established application fee
of $25 for surveyor-in-training license; P.A. 89-251 increased the fee for professional engineer from $50 to $150, increased
the fee for engineers-in-training from $25 to $38, increased the fee for land surveyors from $50 to $150, increased the fee
for surveyors-in-training from $25 to $32 and increased the combined licensed fee from $50 to $150; P.A. 92-74 rephrased
section to delete references to first examinations of engineers-in-training and surveyors-in-training, to separate fees for
professional engineers and surveyors and those desiring combined licenses into discrete fees for application and license
and to specify that application fee is nonrefundable, deleting prior provision which stated that fee deposited with application,
i.e. combined application and license fee, would be nonreturnable after formal action taken by board on the application;
P.A. 98-3 made technical changes; June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6 and P.A. 04-169 replaced Department of Consumer Protection with Department of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective July 1, 2004; P.A. 04-189 repealed Sec. 146 of
June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6, thereby reversing the merger of the Departments of Agriculture and Consumer Protection,
effective June 1, 2004.
