Summary

SB102 would move the architect certificate expiration date from September 30 to December 31 and shorten the renewal window from 90 days to 30 days.

What This Bill Does

If passed, the bill changes when an architecture certificate expires to December 31 each year. It also reduces the time allowed to renew a certificate (with late penalties) from 90 days to 30 days, and keeps existing renewal fees and penalties. It also adjusts military-related expiration rules so certificates held by service members would not expire until December 31 after discharge.

Who It Affects

• Licensed architects and certificate holders in Alabama, whose certificates would now expire December 31 instead of September 30 and must renew within a 30-day window instead of 90 days (with late penalties) to avoid lapse.
• Members of the U.S. Armed Forces who are registrants, whose certificate expiration would extend to December 31 following discharge rather than earlier under the prior rule.

Key Provisions

• Change the expiration date of architect certificates from September 30 to December 31.
• Reduce the renewal window for certificate renewal with late penalties from 90 days to 30 days and clarify lapse if not renewed by December 31.
