Bill > LB696

This bill makes several modifications to the Professional Landscape Architects Act, primarily focusing on updating definitions, licensure requirements, and administrative processes for landscape architects in Nebraska. The bill adds a new definition for "direct supervision" and clarifies the scope of landscape architecture practice, including specific details about what landscape architects can and cannot do. It also updates the roster maintenance requirements for the State Board of Landscape Architects, allowing the board to provide roster copies upon request and potentially charge a fee. The bill modifies licensure application requirements, including expanding acceptable educational accreditation to include Canadian landscape architecture programs and adjusting experience requirements. Additionally, the bill streamlines the licensure renewal process, removes some previously complex renewal procedures, and maintains the board's ability to take disciplinary actions against licensed professionals who violate the act, including issuing censures, imposing civil penalties up to $10,000, suspending licenses, and issuing cease and desist orders. The changes aim to modernize and clarify the regulations governing landscape architecture professionals in Nebraska.
