Responding to Bill Allen's question on how to implement Joe McCormick's
(no relation) suggestions:

1.Why doesn't SEAOC pursue legislation to require  continuing education
for engineers, architects and contractors in California? AB 717 got it for
building inspectors, plan checkers and building officials. Doesn't the
rewrite of the CA PE Act provides an opportunity to make changes
including EIT qualifications?

2. All cities and counties should require structural observation in Seismic
Zones 3 & 4.
