Arkansas Architectural Act
Arkansas · Professions, Occupations, and Businesses · §§ 17-15-101 to 17-15-312 · 23 sections
Overview
This act governs the practice of architecture, making it unlawful to practice or offer architectural services without a current certificate of registration, subject to defined exemptions and to separate provisions for firms and for architects registered elsewhere. Administration rests with a registration board whose membership, organization, powers, and recordkeeping obligations are specified, and which examines and certifies applicants, sets fees, imposes continuing-education requirements, and regulates use of an official seal. Registration may be revoked on enumerated grounds through prescribed proceedings and afterward reissued, while violations are addressed through penalties, enforcement authority, and injunctive relief.
