This 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 necessity for full professional knowledge and control over landscape architecture work. The bill also updates the criteria for licensure applications, allowing graduates from accredited programs by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board or the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects to sit for the Landscape Architect Registration Examination. Additionally, it modifies the requirements for maintaining a complete roster of professional landscape architects, ensuring it is publicly accessible and includes updated information.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the disciplinary actions the board may take against violators of the act, including censure, suspension, and civil penalties. It also specifies that examination materials are not considered public records, thus protecting sensitive information. The bill aims to harmonize existing provisions and streamline the licensure process while ensuring that the standards for professional practice in landscape architecture are upheld. The original sections of the law that are being amended are repealed to reflect these updates.
