I must agree with Mr Kesnter and Col Hodges, why do we need CE?  As a practicing engineer and contractor we must stay current with the latest code regulations for our discipline.  National codes are  being updated and changed every 3 yrs not to mention the changes on the state and local level.  To me this is just another reason for the state to tax our profession.  How will the CE be regulated, is a Mircosoft Excel class going to count as a CE credit?  The legislators have no idea what it takes to become a registered engineer not to mention the liability we undertake when we stamp a set of drawings.  Before this legislation is passed I beg the governing body to explain why CE is needed or required?  What "disasters" have happened in VA due to lack of CE?
