Notice of Effective Date of New Rule for Tennessee Board of Examiners for Land Surveyors

The Tennessee Board of Licensing Contractors considered new rules at a regularly scheduled meeting conducted on January 26, 2017. These rules were filed with the Secretary of State on July 27, 2017, and will become effective on October 25, 2017. These rules have been filed as Proposed Rules and will be promulgated without a hearing ninety (90) days from the filing date unless a petition is received by at least ten (10) persons who will be affected by the rule, or submitted by a municipality which will be affected by the amendments, or an association of ten (10) or more members, or any standing committee of the General Assembly.

The proposed rules allow the Board of Examiners for Land Surveyors to use third party vendors to conduct review applications for examination of applicants, clarify that NCEES conducts the national examination while the Board of Examiners for Land Surveyors, through third party vendors, will conduct states specific examinations and Professional Land Surveyor in Training examinations, clarify that the syllabus that is published by the Board of Examiners for Land Surveyors is for the state specific examination, and that applicants should contact NCEES for a syllabus of the national exam, and clarify that the fees collected by the Board of Examiners for Land Surveyors are for applications for licensure. The third party vendors that may administer the examinations will set their own fees. A full copy of these rules can be viewed online at http://publications.tnsosfiles.com/rules_filings/07-37-17.pdf  

If you have any questions or concerns about these proposed rules, please contact Ashley Thomas, Assistant General Counsel, at (615) 741-3072 or electronically at Ashley.Thomas@tn.gov.
