Relates to the licensing of landscape architects
This bill amends New York's education law to clarify who is exempt from needing a landscape architect license. It explicitly allows various professionals, such as builders, horticulturists, and licensed architects, to perform certain landscape-related tasks without holding a specific landscape architecture license. The law also permits employees of licensed landscape architects and junior assistants in specific city and state roles to work under supervision without being fully licensed. Additionally, it prohibits these exempt individuals from using the title "landscape architect" unless they are officially licensed. The changes take effect immediately upon passage.
