Architects Licensing Bill gets a Hearing in the House

The architects licensing modernization bill, ESSB 5529, had a good hearing on Tuesday, March 17.

AIA/WA Executive Director, Stan Bowman, and AIAWA Treasurer and member, Peter Rasmussen, testified in support of the bill. The bill also had testimony in support of the bill from a representative of the state community colleges. The AIA is pleased to have found a compromise with the schools that is to the benefit of everyone involved.

The AIA continues to push for passage of ESSB 5529 which would: clarify corporate regulation requirements, update qualification standards, and cleans up confusing exemptions. You can see the AIA/WA testimony below.
