§ 711g-1. Retired engineer, architect, surveyor or landscape architect

Any licensed or in training professional or associate, who because of his/her retirement from the practice of his/her profession wishes to inactivate his/her license or certificate but who wishes to continue enjoying all other benefits granted by said condition, including that of membership in the College, shall file a sworn application with the Board, should he/she not apply personally, in which he/she must provide evidence of his/her retirement from the practice of his/her profession and of his/her desire to remain enrolled in the Register of the Board as retired engineer, architect, surveyor or landscape architect, as the case may be. The Board, after verifying the contents of said application, shall proceed to inactivate the license or certificate of the professional concerned and in its place shall proceed to enroll the applicant in the Register of Retired Professionals.

Said enrollment and registration does not authorize the retired professional to practice his/her profession, although the latter may continue using the title of engineer, surveyor, architect or landscape architect, as the case may be, adding the word “retired” after the same, and may also retain his/her membership in his/her professional College by faithfully complying with the laws governing said College, which shall adjust his/her dues so as to take into consideration his/her status as retired professional, and of the regulations promulgated pursuant to the same.
