FISCAL NOTE ACT MAY APPLY
A BILL FOR
SB1711 LRB096 10972 ASK 21244 b
AN ACT concerning professional regulation.
WHEREAS, It is the intent of the General Assembly to do the
following by enacting this amendatory Act of the 96th General
Assembly:
(1) upgrade the profession of landscape architecture
to a fully licensed profession, so as to better protect the
public health, safety, and welfare of the people of
Illinois;
(2) leave unchanged current traditional customs and
practices related to other disciplines by not authorizing
landscape architects to practice architecture,
engineering, or land surveying; and
(3) leave unchanged current traditional customs and
practices related to the work of other associated,
unregulated businesses; and
WHEREAS, The General Assembly finds and declares the
following:
(1) over 40 states currently license landscape
architects in order to protect the health, safety, and
welfare of their citizens;
(2) before an individual can become a landscape
architect, the person must earn a bachelor's or
first-professional master's degree in landscape
architecture from an accredited program at an accredited
university (only the University of Illinois at

SB1711 - 2 - LRB096 10972 ASK 21244 b
Urbana-Champaign, as of the date of this amendatory Act of
the 96th General Assembly, offers such a degree in
Illinois);
(3) following the attainment of the requisite degree,
the graduate must participate in a professional internship
of at least one year before making application for a
license;
(4) the graduate must successfully pass the national
Landscape Architecture Registration Examination, which
tests the candidate's knowledge, skills, and abilities to
address issues of concern to the public health, safety, and
welfare;
(5) full licensure of landscape architects puts the
profession on an equal footing with those practitioners
already licensed to perform work traditionally performed
by landscape architects and permits landscape architects
to lead projects, form appropriate business relationships,
and serve as principals in multidisciplinary firms; and
(6) by allowing landscape architects to submit
proposals and to seal their work, consumers and public
agencies can purchase services at reduced costs; therefore
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 1. The Illinois Landscape Architecture Act of 1989
