The bill amends several sections of the Professional Landscape Architects Act in Nebraska, focusing on the State Board of Landscape Architects, licensure processes, and disciplinary actions. Key changes include the definition of "direct supervision," which emphasizes the need for full professional knowledge and control over landscape architecture work. The bill also updates the requirements for licensure applications, allowing graduates from accredited programs recognized by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board or the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects to sit for the Landscape Architect Registration Examination. Additionally, it clarifies that examination materials are not public records and modifies the process for maintaining and distributing the roster of licensed landscape architects.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the disciplinary actions the board may take against violators of the act, including censure, suspension, and civil penalties. It specifies that civil penalties collected will be directed to the State Treasurer, while costs incurred during investigations will be credited to the State Board of Landscape Architects Cash Fund. The bill aims to harmonize existing provisions and streamline the licensure process while ensuring the integrity and professionalism of landscape architecture practice in Nebraska.
