SB 780 - This act modifies provisions relating to the Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors and Landscape Architects. The board is reduced from fifteen to fourteen members by eliminating the separately appointed chairperson. The other fourteen members will select one of themselves to be the chairperson. The members will also select one of themselves to be the vice chairperson. The ten year practice requirement for board membership is modified to require practice with a Missouri license. The president of the Missouri division of the American Institute of Architects will nominate individuals to fill board vacancies requiring an architect. This act is similar to HB 1852 (2012).
