No on proposed regulation change, continuing education should remain voluntary
 

We as professionals should not be burdened with the costly requirements associated with this regulatory change. Continuing education should remain voluntary. Over time the requirement of all of this continuing education will be very costly to an individual but a PE of 1 year and a PE of 20 years have the same authorization and credentials.

If the changes are implemented I would suggest having an grandfathering provision for those of us that are already licensed.
