Most states only have PE license with Structural Branch.

It is a simple question with a complicated answer. I found the attached on-line (I was not involved in its' creation) and it can be used as a good starting point to get the answer you desire. Also the attached document appears to be dated by a few years. As always contacting the individual state you are intrested in is the best solution.

I think Hawaii and Alaska - but might be wrong.

Remember the ONLY state you need to have an SE is Illinois to do ANY structural work.

Some of the other states limit the work a PE can do. I think CA you must have an SE to do hospitals, firehouses, and anything over 3 or 4 stories. Something like that

But Illinois is the joke here since an architect can sign off on ANYTHING.

I live 20 miles from IL in St Louis and apparently the laws of physics and engineering change once you cross the might Mississippi River!!
