Maryland Landscape Architects Act

The Landscape Architects Act regulates the practice of landscape architecture, requiring individuals to be registered before offering services under that title and defining the scope of practice along with exemptions for those who fall outside it. It creates a licensing board with appointed members and rulemaking authority, which sets qualifications, administers examinations for both full registration and an entry-level landscape architect in training credential, and handles inactive status, reciprocity, and expedited paths to registration. The act also funds the board through fees deposited in a dedicated account and gives it enforcement powers, including the ability to deny, suspend, or revoke a certificate of registration, subject to standards governing how an applicant's criminal history may be weighed.
