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.
This bill would establish a fee to administer the supplemental examination on the Alabama statutes.
