The Alabama Board of Licensure for Professional Geologists was created to protect life, property, health, safety, public welfare and the environment from danger and abuse by untrained or unprincipled persons who publicly practice the profession of geology, and to define and establish minimum professional standards for ethical conduct, professional responsibility, education, and experience. The Board is intended to insure that only those persons who meet the minimum qualifications for entry into the profession of geology, and are licensed as geologists, except for those who are exempted from licensing, shall publicly practice geology. This purpose is implemented by the adoption of the following rules and regulations, and through swift and effective discipline for those who are in violation.
