MINOR

The bill was amended to rename the new 'independent certification program' to a 'professional certification program' and to remove the word 'registered' before 'architect', thereby allowing any licensed architect (not just registered ones) to participate. The amendment also adds the word 'or' to the list of eligible professionals to ensure clarity that both architects and engineers are included.

Scope change

The scope of eligible professionals was broadened slightly by removing the 'registered' requirement for architects, and the program's official name was updated to reflect its reliance on professional certification.

DEFINITION

The term 'registered architect' was changed to 'architect' to broaden eligibility to all licensed architects, not just those with the 'registered' title.

The program name was changed from 'independent certification program' to 'professional certification program' to better describe the nature of the process.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the bill header and explanation section to reflect the amended status.
