Professionals back SB 2607 to let licensing board set landscape‑architect exam and experience requirements
Summary
Multiple licensed landscape architects and professional organizations testified in support of SB 2607, which authorizes the licensing board to determine exam and experience requirements for landscape architect licensure; the committee passed the measure with the board's requested amendments.
SB 2607 would authorize the Board of Professional Engineers, Architects, Surveyors, and Landscape Architects to determine the appropriate examination and experience requirements for landscape architect licensure. The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) and multiple professional witnesses testified in support.
"I'm Joel Awa, landscape architect," said a witness in support, and multiple organizations — including the American Institute of Architects Hawaii and the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards — submitted written testimony backing board‑requested amendments. The committee voted to pass with the requested amendments and deferred the effective date to July 1, 2050 to allow additional drafting work.
