SCS SB 478 -- INACTIVE LICENSES FOR ARCHITECTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS

This bill establishes inactive licenses for architects.  Licensed
architects may make application for an inactive license with the
State Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional
Land Surveyors, and Landscape Architects.  Holders of inactive
licenses may not practice architecture, but they may continue to
hold themselves out as being an architect.  Inactive licensees
who fail to maintain a current license in any state for more than
five years prior to requesting licensure reinstatement must take
a licensing examination deemed appropriate by the board.

The bill also makes technical changes to update the statutes in
regard to landscape architects.

The bill further creates an inactive license status for licensed
psychologists.  Persons wishing to obtain an inactive license
must make application with the State Committee of Psychologists,
declaring their intention of not engaging in the professional
practice of psychology in this state.  Persons wishing to be
taken off inactive status and to obtain a regular license to
practice psychology must make application with the committee, pay
all reactivation fees, and submit proof of current competency as
established by the committee.  Inactive license holders are not
required to meet continuing education requirements.
