	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Galgiani

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2016

   An act to amend Section 5500 of, and to add Section 5500.2 to, the
Business and Professions Code, relating to professions and
vocations.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1132, as introduced, Galgiani. Architects:
architects-in-training.
   The Architects Practice Act provides for licensing and regulation
of persons engaged in the practice of architecture by the California
Architects Board, which is within the Department of Consumer Affairs,
and defines the term "architect" for those purposes. That act
requires an applicant for licensure as an architect to, among other
things, take an examination. Existing regulations require an
applicant for licensure to take the Architect Registration
Examination.
   This bill would define the term "architect-in-training," for
purposes of that act, as a person who has received board confirmation
of eligibility for the Architect Registration Examination and is
employed under the direct supervision of a licensed architect, and
would authorize a person to use the title "architect-in-training" for
purposes of employment in the state if he or she meets the
definition of that term.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
