re: Question for Project Managers

LAPELS is a governmental agency tied to the Secretary of State's office. By legislation, they have the right to levy fines for misrepresentation of professional licensure as it relates to Engineering and Surveying.

So, by definition presenting yourself as an "Engineer" in a public context is, in fact, illegal and can be sanctioned through fines regardless of a firm's/buisness' intent to get licensed. Throwing in "criminal" is semantics.........
