Bill Summary
Under existing law, any person who practices landscape architecture or uses the title "landscape architect" must be licensed
This bill would add the title "registered landscape architect" and would also require a license
Under existing law, as an alternative to other licensing requirements, any person with at least eight years of actual practical experience in landscape architectural work may qualify for a license
This bill would delete the alternative licensing for eight years of actual practical experience and require a licensed landscape architect to have educational experience from an approved landscape architectural school and submit proof of practical experience to qualify for a license
This bill also clarifies the status of the master and doctor of landscape architecture degrees
Under existing law, to become a licensed landscape architect, an applicant would take a written examination
This bill would require the applicant to take a board approved examination, which may be digital
Under exiting law, a landscape architect must pay, on the first day of January of each year, an annual license fee to the board. If the fee is not paid by the thirtieth day of June, a delinquency notice may be mailed and after 30 days the landscape architect's certificate shall be suspended
This bill would change the date of the delinquency notice to the fifteenth day of March
