What this means for firm owners in Missouri
Each PE needs 30 PDH per biennium. Up to 15 PDH can carry forward to the next period.
Missouri’s PE renewal cycle is biennial. Track each engineer’s renewal deadline and keep a record of professional development hours (PDH), but confirm the required hours, any ethics or state-specific hours, and carryover rules on the board site.
When hiring an engineer licensed elsewhere, confirm the Missouri comity process with the board and ask whether an NCEES Record applies. Check the board site to learn whether your firm must register and what steps apply.
