TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 40-28-195 SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR LICENSE RENEWAL FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 40-28-195. To qualify for license renewal as a landscape architect, the licensee must have completed a minimum of fifteen contact hours of continuing education within the previous license year. The fifteen hours of continuing education must be approved by the board. The Landscape Architect Advisory Council shall recommend to the board regulations governing the administration of the continuing education requirements. All continuing education requirements must be promulgated by the board by regulation.
Documentation of compliance with this section, including compliance with all regulations promulgated pursuant to this section, by a landscape architect must be by affidavit provided on the application for license renewal. Erroneous or false information attested to by the licensee shall be deemed grounds for denial of license renewal, suspension of existing license, or denial of consideration for reinstatement of suspended license, all in the discretion of the board."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
