IMPORTANT! In his June 8, 2009, letter to Peter Courtney, President of the Oregon Senate, and Dave Hunt, Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives, Governor Theodore (Ted) Kulongoski proposed suspension of numerous state boards and commissions and consolidation of many state agencies. Specifically, he recommends consolidating the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying (OSBEELS), the Oregon Board of Architect Examiners, the Oregon Landscape Architect Board, and the State Landscape Contractors Board. Several engineering associations, including ACEC, PEO, AIA, ASLA, PLSO, and SEAO, have prepared a position statement and letter in opposition to consolidation of these boards. The Governor’s letter, along with the position statement and letter in opposition to the consolidation, are available for your review below. We welcome your comments, which can be directed by e-mail to Gene Tupper.
