New and Updated Information
- Legislation enacted during the 4th Extraordinary Session of 2009 (ABx4 20) eliminated the Board for Geologists and Geophysicists and transferred all of the duties, powers, purposes, responsibilities, and jurisdiction to regulate the practices of geology and geophysics to the Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. The transfer of authority became effective October 23, 2009. The Geologist and Geophysicist Act (Business and Professions Code section 7800, et seq.) and the Rules and Regulations pertaining to the practices of geology and geophysics (Title 16, California Code of Regulations section 3000, et seq.) remain in effect. The practices of geology and geophysics are still regulated. Individuals must still obtain licensure and practice in accordance with the laws and professional standards relating to geology and geophysics. The only change is that the Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors will now be enforcing those laws. All correspondence and inquiries regarding geology and geophysics should now be directed to the Board for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors at the contact information listed above.
