Change, provide, and eliminate provisions of the Professional Landscape Architects Act

LB 696 amends Nebraska's Professional Landscape Architects Act to update licensing rules and definitions. It clarifies key terms like "practice of landscape architecture" (including site design and natural resource management), requires the State Board to maintain a public roster of licensed professionals, and revises application standards. Specifically, it updates accreditation requirements for degree programs (recognizing both U.S. and Canadian standards), shortens experience verification steps, and streamlines the license application process. These changes directly affect landscape architects seeking licensure or renewal, the State Board of Landscape Architects, and the public accessing verified professional credentials. The bill harmonizes existing provisions without creating new fees or services.
