TITLE 305 INDIANA BOARD OF LICENSURE FOR PROFESSIONAL GEOLOGISTS
Notice of Public Comment Period for Rule Readoption
LSA Document #23-616
Readopts rules in anticipation of
IC 4-22-2.6, providing that an administrative rule adopted under
IC 4-22-2 expires January 1 of the fifth year after the year in which the rule takes effect unless the rule contains an earlier expiration date. Effective 30 days after filing with the Publisher.
OVERVIEW
Rules to be readopted without changes are as follows:
305 IAC 1-3 Issuance, Renewal, and Denial of Geologist Licensures
Rules to be repealed without changes are as follows:
None
The board is required as per
IC 25-17.6-3-12 to create rules for the licensing of professional geologists. The last cost benefit, economic impact, and fiscal impact were conducted in 2019 that resulted in an increase in application and renewal fees so that the board would remain solvent. No changes have taken place since then. The licensing board has received no complaints in the last 10 years. The licensing of professional geologists is managed by the Indiana Geological and Water Survey. The survey has successfully and efficiently administered this program since required by statute in June 1980. Licensed professional geologists are independently licensed and therefore have no impact on state agencies and businesses.
