Bill > A11278

This bill amends existing law to clarify exemptions for individuals practicing landscape architecture, specifically by modifying the definitions of who is exempt from needing a landscape architect license. It clarifies that employees of nurseries that grow trees and shrubs for landscape purposes are exempt from licensing, and also expands an existing exemption for the City of New York to include the state of New York for junior or assistant landscape architects employed in positions with titles approved and in use by a certain date, provided they are supervised by a licensed landscape architect. Additionally, the bill clarifies that licensed architects, engineers, and land surveyors can continue their practice without a landscape architect license, as long as they do not use the specific designation "landscape architect" or related terms unless they are licensed as such.
