HOUSE BILL NO. 103

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE.


BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:


Section 1. Amend Section 204, Title 24 of the Delaware Code by making insertions as shown by underlining and deletions as shown by strike through as follows:

§204. Board of Landscape Architecture – Officers; meeting

(a)     In January of each year the members shall elect, from among their Board, a President, a Vice-President, and a Secretaryand a Treasurer.Each officer shall serve for 1 year, and shall not successively serve for more than 2 consecutive terms.

Section 2.Amend Section 307(a)(2), Title 24 of the Delaware Code by making insertions as shown by underlining and deletions as shown by strike through as follows:

(2) The applicant shall have completed a minimum of 3 years of practical training in architectural work. This requirement may be satisfied by participation in an intern development program. The Board shall adopt regulations governing practical training which are consistent with the guidelines of the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards.

Section 3.Amend Section 307(f), Title 24 of the Delaware Code by making insertions as shown by underlining and deletions as shown by strike through as follows:

(f) Any applicant who applies for a license within 6 years from the effective date of this law may petition the Board to waive the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section, but only if, in the Board's judgment, the applicant complies with the "Education and Training Requirements for Delaware Licensure."


SYNOPSIS

Section 1 of this Bill replaces the position of Treasurer with that of Vice–President on the Board of Landscape Architecture.This change brings the Board of Landscape Architecture in line with other boards covered under Title 24 of the Delaware Code.

Section 2 of this Bill removes a provision that has an outdated timeframe for applicants to complete practical training but retains the Board of Architecture's ability to adopt regulations that are consistent with the current National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) national standards.Those standards are structured around actual tasks, not calendar years.

Section 3 of the Bill eliminates a dated reference to a prior amendment that is no longer relevant.
