Section 820-010-4031 - Application for Temporary License as a Professional Structural Engineer for Military Spouse or Domestic Partner

(1) "Military spouse or domestic partner" means a spouse or domestic partner of an active member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is the subject of a military transfer to Oregon.

(2) A qualifying military spouse or domestic partner shall be granted a temporary, nonrenewable registration as a professional structural engineer, valid until the earliest of the following:

(a) Two years from issuance;

(b) The date the spouse of the temporary license holder completes their term of military service in Oregon; or

(c) The date the temporary license holder's registration as a professional structural engineer in the other state expires.

(3) To qualify for registration as a professional structural engineer under this rule, the military spouse or domestic partner must:

(a) Be married to, or in a domestic partnership with, a member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is assigned to a duty station located in Oregon by official active duty military order;

(b) Currently hold registration as a professional structural engineer in a state of the United States of America. Registration as a professional structural engineer is not registration as a professional engineer in the structural branch of engineering.

(c) Be in good standing in the state where the registration as a professional structural engineer is held. Good standing, for purposes of this rule, means: the professional structural engineer's registration in the state used to meet subsection (3)(b) of this rule must not be subject to any restrictions, limitations, or pending, current, or prior discipline; and, the professional structural engineer's registration is current with respect to all required, continuing professional development; and

(d) Demonstrate competency by:

(A) Providing official verification that the applicant has never had registration as a professional engineer or professional structural engineer revoked in any NCEES jurisdiction;

(B) Providing official verification that the applicant is not currently under professional discipline for incompetence, negligence, or gross negligence in any state where the applicant holds registration as a professional structural engineer; and

(C) Evidence of passing the NCEES PE Structural Examination - Building Sections or the structural examinations listed in OAR 820-010-4000(2)(a) through (d).
