In May, Hawai'i Governor Josh Green signed Senate Bill 2607 into law, adopting a uniform standard for landscape architecture license. First introduced to state legislators 18 months ago, the uniform standard allows the board to reduce the years of experience required for most applicants seeking licensure while continuing to ensure the protection of the public and environment across the state. The ASLA Hawai'i Chapter was heavily involved in the passage of this bill, with significant assistance from the ASLA National Government Affairs team.
