ARC 3335C

ARCHITECTURAL EXAMINING BOARD[193B]

Adopted and Filed

Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 544A.29, the Architectural Examining Board hereby amends Chapter 5, "Exceptions," Iowa Administrative Code.

The amendment is a result of 2017 Iowa Acts, Senate File 408, which requires licensure rather than registration of architects practicing in this state. This bill passed the Iowa Senate on March 28, 2017, 49-0, and passed the Iowa House on April 6, 2017, 96-0; it was signed by then Governor Branstad on May 11, 2017. The amendment changes terminology from registered/registration to licensed/licensure.

Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin as ARC 3172C on July 5, 2017. A public hearing was held on July 25, 2017. There were a few comments in response to the Notice. Most of the feedback consisted of questions regarding the timing of obtaining a new seal. Two responses were supportive, and one questioned whether "architect" needed any modifier. This amendment is identical to that published under Notice.

The amendment is subject to waiver or variance pursuant to 193—Chapter 5.

The amendment was adopted by the Board on August 22, 2017.

After analysis and review of this rule making, the Professional Licensing and Regulation Bureau determined that there will be no impact on jobs and no fiscal impact to the state.

This amendment is intended to implement Iowa Code chapter 544A as amended by 2017 Iowa Acts, Senate File 408.

This amendment will become effective November 1, 2017.

The following amendment is adopted.

Amend rule 193B—5.2(544A) as follows:

193B—5.2(544A) Exceptions. An architect registered licensed in this state is required to perform professional architectural services for all buildings except those listed below. Persons who are not registered licensed architects may perform planning and design services in connection with any of the following:

5.2(1) to 5.2(6) No change.
