Are clean air and clean water a constitutional right?  They are considered so in Pennsylvania and Montana, and if some lawmakers and environmentalists get their way, New Jersey would be the third state in the nation to designate a healthy environment as an inalienable right.  Assemblyman Tim Eustace (D-Bergen), the chairman of the Assembly Environment and Solid Waste Committee, yesterday said he plans to introduce a bill that, if passed, would provide the people with a constitutional right to a healthy environment.   READ MORE

NSPE continues to fight efforts to stop an important final rule addressing oil and natural gas emissions; the rule requires a professional engineer to perform key functions to meet performance standards. On November 17, NSPE President Tom Roberts, P.E., F.NSPE, submitted a public comment to the Environmental Protection Agency regarding its reconsideration of the requirements for a professional engineer to certify the closed vent system design and capacity assessment. In the public comment Roberts writes, "NSPE is concerned by the proposed stay and its rationale...[T]he EPA, in its careful consideration and determination of the final 2016 rule, recognized the unique qualifications, expertise, and the legal and ethical duty of professional engineers to hold paramount the public health, safety, and welfare in their designs, construction, and observations....With hundreds of thousands of PEs across the country, NSPE strongly believes that the existing requirements can be met."   READ MORE

NSPE joined with the American Institute of Architects and the American Society of Landscape Architects in sending a letter to legislators on worrisome provisions in tax legislation currently being considered by Congress. Both the House and Senate versions of the legislation would exclude engineering firms organized as pass-through businesses-including S corporations, partnerships, and LLCs-from tax breaks. The House and Senate have passed their own versions of the legislation. The House legislation excludes engineering and other professional services. The Senate legislation's 23% tax deduction is available only to professional services firm owners whose taxable income is below $500,000 (married filing jointly)/$250,000 (individual). These bills will now be brought to a joint House-Senate conference committee. NSPE will provide an update on the final resolution of the legislation.  READ MORE
