Rhode Island Professional Engineer (PE) CE audits & penalties

What happens if a professional engineer misses CE requirements in Rhode Island, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.

Certificates of licensure expire June 30 of odd-numbered years and become invalid after that date unless renewed. Reinstatement of an expired PE certificate costs $210 for each year the registration was expired. Practicing engineering while the license is inactive, expired, or restricted is grounds for Board discipline (430-RICR-00-00-1 §1.6(A)(1)(i)).Verify with board

How compliance is checked

No PE continuing-education requirement was located in the Board's regulations, so no CE audit applies.
