No need for additional requirements
 

Engineers/Architects who have gone through the effort to obtain their licenses are responsible individuals.  Continuing education is important to each of us but it is up to each individual to do this on their own, not by a forced state mandate. 

This proposal is an obvious attempt by certain lobby groups to create more income for their clients.  Also, Virginia should not do this just  because other states have these mandates.   These same lobby groups are active in all 50 states.

Please do not enact this proposal.
