The bill, HB 1204, is now in the state senate?EUR??,,????'???s hands, where it is currently being discussed by the senate?EUR??,,????'???s Political Subdivisions committee. The bill would prohibit use of the title ?EUR??,,????'??registered landscape architect?EUR??,,????'?? by any unregistered person. Applicants for registration would pay a fee of not more than $100 and would have to meet standards adopted by the Board of Architecture.
