HB 924 -- Architects, Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Landscape
Architects

Sponsor:  Behnen

This bill prohibits persons from practicing architecture,
engineering, land surveying, or landscape architecture in this
state without being duly licensed by the Missouri Board for
Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Landscape
Architects.

The bill gives the board authority to file complaints with the
Administrative Hearing Commission, initiate investigations, issue
subpoenas, and to file with courts of competent jurisdiction for
civil penalties to be imposed against persons which are in
violation of the provisions of the bill.

The bill also places limits on the civil penalties, specifies
when the penalties will be paid, and gives the Attorney General
the authority to commence action to recover penalties.  All
penalties collected will be deposited in the General Revenue
Fund; and any money assessed and collected by the board to defray
the costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigations
and hearings will be placed in the State Board for Architects,
Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Landscape Architects
Fund.

Any person practicing these professions without a license is
guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
