Under existing law, the Chief Engineer of the Department of Transportation is appointed by the Director of Transportation subject to approval of the Governor and the State Board of Registration for Engineers and Land Surveyors. The chief engineer thereafter serves as a Merit System employee. The chief engineer is also required to be a registered professional engineer.
This bill would provide that the Chief Engineer of the Department of Transportation would be an exempt position under the state Merit System appointed by the Director of Transportation, would specify that a civil engineering degree of the chief engineer be from an accredited school of engineering, and would further provide for the duties of the chief engineer.
