ONE HUNDRED EIGHTH LEGISLATURE
FIRST SESSION
LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION 222
Introduced by Brewer, 43.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this resolution is to propose an interim study to
review the credentialing requirements for landscape architects found in the Professional Landscape Architects Act in furtherance of the purposes of the Occupational Board Reform Act.
The study should include, but need not be limited to, an examination and consideration of whether the current means of regulating the profession:
(1) Is the least restrictive regulation which is necessary to protect consumers from undue risk of present, significant, and substantiated harms that clearly threaten or endanger the health, safety, or welfare of the public when competition alone is not sufficient and which is consistent with the public interest;
(2) Protects the fundamental right of an individual to pursue a lawful occupation;
(3) Is construed and applied to increase opportunities, promote competition, and encourage innovation; and
(4) Should be changed to conform to the policy principles set out in the Occupational Board Reform Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE HUNDRED EIGHTH
LEGISLATURE OF NEBRASKA, FIRST SESSION:
1. That the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee of the Legislature shall be designated to conduct an interim study to carry out the purposes of this resolution.
2. That the committee shall upon the conclusion of its study make a report of its findings, together with its recommendations, to the Legislative Council or Legislature.
