| SUMMARY OF: | A Sunset Review of the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development, State Board of Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors (board) |
Why DLA Performed This Audit
The purpose of the audit was to determine if there is a need for the board’s continued existence and whether its termination date should be extended. The board is set to sunset June 30, 2017, and will have one year from that date to conclude its administrative operations.
Report Conclusions
The board is serving the public’s interest by effectively registering and regulating architects, engineers, land surveyors, and landscape architects. The board monitors registrants and works to ensure only qualified individuals practice in Alaska. Furthermore, the board develops and adopts regulations to improve the architect, engineer, land surveyor, and landscape architect occupations. In accordance with AS 08.03.010(c)(3), the board is scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2017. We recommend that the legislature extend the board’s termination date to June 30, 2025.
Findings and Recommendations
All prior year recommendations were resolved and there were no new recommendations as part of the current sunset audit.
