Illinois Architecture Practice Act
Illinois · Professions, Occupations, and Business Operations · §§ 225-305-1 to 225-305-9 · 47 sections
Overview
The act governs the practice of architecture, establishing a licensing regime for individual architects and a separate registration requirement for firms offering architectural design services. It sets qualifications, examination, and continuing-education standards for licensure, provides for endorsement of out-of-state applicants, inactive and retired designations, renewal and reinstatement, fees, and use of a professional seal, and is administered by a board with defined powers and duties. Enforcement provisions authorize investigations, subpoenas, and administrative hearings leading to discipline, along with injunctions, cease-and-desist orders, and civil penalties against unlicensed practice, with board decisions subject to administrative review.
