Chapter 1.
ARCHITECTS
Subchapter D. CERTIFICATION AND ANNUAL REGISTRATION
22 TAC §1.68
The Texas Board of Architectural Examiners proposes an amendment
to rule §1.68 for Title 22, Chapter 1, Subchapter D, pertaining to inactive
status for certificates of registration. The existing rule provides an inactive
registration status for architects, prohibits inactive registrants from practicing
architecture and from using any form of the title "architect" to describe
themselves or their work, and provides for the suspension or revocation of
the registration and/or for a fine of up to $1,000 for each day that an inactive
registrant has practiced architecture or used a form of the title "architect"
improperly. It prohibits an inactive registrant from using or displaying his/her
architectural seal, registration certificate, or pocket card. It requires
an inactive registrant to pay an annual fee, including an amount for the architectural
candidate scholarship fund established by the 76th Texas Legislature. It sets
forth the procedures for returning an inactive registration to active status.
It requires an inactive registrant whose registration has been inactive for
five years or longer to successfully complete all sections of the current
registration examination before returning to active status or furnish evidence
that the inactive registrant currently holds an architectural registration
in another jurisdiction with registration requirements that are substantially
equivalent to Texas requirements. It sets forth the reasons for rejecting
an application to return to active status. The amendment to this rule is intended
to allow inactive registrants to use the title "architect" and to allow an
inactive architect who has been actively registered as an architect in Texas
or in another jurisdiction for at least twenty years and has retired from
the practice of architecture to use the title "Emeritus Architect" or "Architect
Emeritus."
Cathy L. Hendricks, Executive Director, Texas Board of Architectural Examiners,
has determined that for the first five-year period the section is in effect,
no significant fiscal implications for state or local government are expected
as a result of enforcing or administering the sections.
Cathy L. Hendricks, Executive Director, Texas Board of Architectural Examiners,
has determined that for the first five-year period the sections are in effect
the public benefits expected as a result of the amendment to the rule are
that the rule will better reflect the statutory provision that is its basis
and that a retired architect will not have to maintain an active registration
in order to continue to use the title "architect."
No significant impact on small business is expected. There is expected
to be no significant change in the cost to persons required to comply with
the section.
Comments may be submitted to Cathy L. Hendricks, ASID/IIDA, Executive Director,
Texas Board of Architectural Examiners, P.O. Box 12337, Austin, TX 78711-2337.
The amendment is proposed pursuant to Section 3(b) and Section
11A of Article 249a, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes which provide the Texas
Board of Architectural Examiners with authority to promulgate rules, including
rules related to inactive status.
The proposed amendment to this section does not affect any other statutes.
