The bill amends several sections of the Code of Alabama concerning the Board of Examiners of Landscape Architects, specifically updating definitions, examination requirements, and licensure reciprocity. Key changes include replacing the term "person" with "individual" and refining the definition of "landscape architect." The bill designates the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB) as the entity responsible for developing and administering the licensure examination, which replaces the previous requirement for the board to conduct these examinations. Additionally, it revises the qualifications for licensure applicants, allowing for alternative education paths and modifying previous age and citizenship requirements.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new fee structure, which includes a $150 application fee, a $50 fee for original and duplicate certificates, and a $150 annual license fee. It also replaces the term "supplemental examination" with "attestation, review, and recording" for the examination on Alabama's landscape architecture laws, which also incurs a $150 fee. The board is granted the authority to set qualifications for licensure by reciprocity, simplifying the process for out-of-state landscape architects to obtain licensure in Alabama. The act is scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2024.
