LB696, introduced by Lincoln Sen. Jane Raybould, would amend the Professional Landscape Architects Act in a number of ways. Raybould said the bill would align licensing requirements for landscape architects with a new national standard adopted in 2022.<\/p>\n

Among other provisions, the bill would:
\n\u2022 define \u201cdirect supervision\u201d under the act;
\n\u2022 expand language regarding who is qualified to take an examination;
\n\u2022 allow the State Board of Landscape Architects to charge a fee for production of its roster of professional landscape architects;
\n\u2022 add the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects as a recognized accreditation authority with respect to landscape architecture degree programs;
\n\u2022 eliminate a requirement that applicants for licensure submit a record from the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Society; and
\n\u2022 remove a provision allowing for reciprocal licensure for applicants who have practiced in another jurisdiction for 15 years or more.<\/p>\n

Following the 34-0 adoption of a technical amendment from the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee, lawmakers advanced LB696 to select file 35-0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
