Comity, IMO, should still probably include a a requirement to pass their state exam.

I'd say that's the easy part. States can make it as in-depth as they want to ensure candidates understand unique requirements for practicing there.

The hard part is ensuring the candidate is up to minimum competency standards as a surveyor. States vary quite a bit in what they require for licensure regarding experience (and breakdown thereof), training and education.

I'm no NCEES apologist, but they have the right idea with the Model Law designation. If all states adopted it, licensure by comity would be far easier to obtain across the board. We're trending in that direction, but slowly.
