§ 12:1100 — Regulation by Louisiana State Board of Architectural Examiners

§1100. Regulation by Louisiana State Board of Architectural Examiners
A. Professional architectural corporations shall be subject to the discipline of the
Louisiana State Board of Architectural Examiners and to its authority to adopt rules and
regulations governing the practice of architecture.
B. If upon the effective date of this Act an architect or architects who are duly
licensed to practice architecture in this state are so engaged in corporation form, contracts
entered into by such corporations to perform or furnish professional architectural services
shall not be rendered invalid by virtue of the noncompliance with the provisions of this Act.
Architects operating in corporate form as of the effective date hereof shall cause such
corporations to comply with the provisions of this Act within ninety days of the effective date
of this Act.
C. Evidence of such compliance referred to in Subsection B of this Section shall be
accomplished by the corporations filing with the Louisiana State Board of Architectural
Examiners a declaration duly certified by the corporate president and secretary and sworn to
before a Notary Public, that such corporation is in full compliance with this Act and
particularly with R.S. 12:1090(B).
D. Upon the receipt of such certification, the Louisiana State Board of Architectural
Examiners shall issue a certificate of compliance upon being reasonably satisfied from the
evidence available to it that the corporation meets the requirements of this Act. The failure
of the board to issue such a certificate without just cause shall in no way effect or invalidate
contracts to furnish architectural services heretofore entered into by the corporation seeking
to qualify without a hearing conducted by the board under the provisions of the Louisiana
Administrative Procedure Act.
