These details have been developed by the national and local building codes and are therefore "approved". They do not need an additional stamp by a licensed structural engineer.
The plan submitted to the county building dept. for this revamp work needs to specify how the sill to slab and top plate and header to trusses connections will be done.
See post #12 for other details that you need to consider.
OP have you checked your plans for these construction details?

The Sumter County building department told me that they needed a drawing stamped by a licensed engineer to get a permit to open up an existing exterior wall.
