Board of Landscape Architects rule relating to application for waiver of initial licensing fees for certain individuals

SB 342 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Landscape Architects to implement a specific rule (9 CSR 04) that allows certain individuals to apply for a waiver of initial licensing fees when seeking a landscape architecture license. The bill directly affects new applicants for landscape architecture licensure who qualify under the rule's criteria. It formalizes the Board's existing regulatory authority to establish this fee waiver process without creating new eligibility standards or financial obligations. As a procedural measure, the bill does not change the substance of the fee waiver but ensures the rule has legal standing under state law.
