Architects: continuing education.
Summary
Existing law, the Architects Practice Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of architects by the California Architects Board. Existing law requires a person licensed to practice architecture to complete, as a condition of license renewal, 5 hours of coursework regarding disability access requirements and provides that the coursework shall be presented by trainers or educators with knowledge and expertise in these requirements. Existing law further requires the board to promulgate regulations to establish qualifications for courses and course providers by January 1, 2023. This bill would additionally require a person licensed to practice architecture to complete, as a condition of a license renewal occurring on or after January 1, 2023, 5 hours of coursework regarding zero net carbon design and would require the board to adopt regulations to establish qualifications for those courses and course providers by July 1, 2024.
