BILL NUMBER: S1834
SPONSOR: MARTINEZ
 
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the education law, in relation to certain licensing
exemptions for landscape architects
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Section 7326 of the education law, as added by chapter 987 of
the laws of 1971, subdivisions e and f as added by chapter 994 of the
laws of 1971 exempting junior or assistant landscape architects who act
under the general supervision of a licensed senior landscape architect.
Section 2. Establishes the enacting clause.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
This legislation aims to address a discrepancy in licensing requirements
for junior or assistant landscape architects between New York State and
New York City. Currently, New York State law mandates licensing for
these titles, whereas New York City does not. By aligning the require-
ments, this bill removes the technical inconsistency, recognizing that
these roles perform similar duties across the state. The legislation
would streamline titles and licensing expectations, ensuring uniform
standards for landscape architecture positions statewide.
 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
