Labeling Program. Please help support the Austin Chapter and

We recently completed the Annual ASHRAE Golf Tournament at The

the DSI team for taking first place.
Next month we will be holding our Annual Bowling Tournament at Westgate Lane down in south Austin from 7-9pm. We have 15 lanes reserved with 5 players per team. It is going to be a blast! Come make the event even BETTER by bringing a guest. For additional information contact Mark Mikulin at [email protected].

and donations to make the Austin Chapter BETTER. I hope that being involved with the

GRASSROOTS GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS UPDATE
A few newsworthy items this month from the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. For those
renewing their PE license in April-the renewal fee dropped significantly from 2015. In July of last
year the legislature reduced the renewal fee from $200 to $40. With all this extra money in our
pockets perhaps a windfall in ASHRAE Research donations is upon us?
Also, in Feb of this year the Board approved rules to allow for the 'decoupling' of the experience
requirements for licensure and the approval to take the PE exam. These rules will officially be
implemented in May 2016. This change will allow a Texas Engineer in Training (EIT) to register for the
PE exam prior to meeting the full experience requirement. The May implementation date means the new
system will be in effect for the upcoming October 2016 PE exam but will not be applicable for the April
2016 exam. "TBPE is pleased to offer flexibility for taking the PE exam in passing the "decoupling"
provision," said TBPE Chairman Daniel Wong, Ph.D., P.E. "Decoupling does not change the current requirements
for PE licensure or the PE exam itself but just offers a more flexible time line to accommodate different career and
life paths of our future engineers".
