BOARD OF REGISTRATION FOR ENGINEERS AND LAND
SURVEYORS
(Ch. 752—Acts of 1939)

In order to safeguard life, health and property and to promote
the public welfare, Chapter 752, of the Acts of 1939 created the
Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Sur-
veyors; with the general provisions requiring that only properly
qualified persons shall hold themselves out as professional engineers
or land surveyors or without designation of professional engineers
or land surveyors in the State of Maryland, such persons shall be
compelled to submit evidence that they are qualified to practice pro-
fessional engineering or land surveying and shall be registered, in
accordance with the provisions of the act.

The board shall consist of five (5) professional engineers, all of
whom shall be appointed by the Governor from nominees recom-
mended by the Maryland Chapter or Section of the American Society
of Civil Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers,
the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers, and who shall have the qualifications
required by Section 4 of this Act. The Board shall consist of at least
one Civil Engineer, one Mechanical Engineer, one Electrical Engineer
and one Chemical Engineer. The above societies shall each recom-
mend not more than three nominees for the first board. In filling a
vacancy, there being only one engineer of that classification on the
board of the society of that classification, only shall recommend not
more than three nominees. If a vacancy occurs in a classification with
two engineers on the board, each of the societies above mentioned
shall recommend not more than three nominees.

The members of the first board shall be appointed within ninety
(90) days after the passage of this article to serve for the following
terms, one member for one year, one member for two years, one mem-
ber for three years, one member for four years and one member
for five years from the date of their appointment or until their suc-
cessors are duly appointed and qualified. On the expiration of the
term of any member, the Governor shall, in the manner hereinafter
provided, appoint for a term of five (5) years a Registered Pro-
fessional Engineer, having the qualifications required by Section 4,
to take the place of the member whose term on said board is about to
expire. Each member of the board shall be a citizen of the United
States and a resident of this state and shall have been engaged in
the practice of professional engineering for at least twelve (12)
