The Mississippi Landscape Architecture Advisory Committee has recently revised the rules and regulations pertaining to mandatory continuing education. The revisions are attached in mark-up format so that you can clearly see what changes have been made. A copy is also provided in without the mark-up for easier reading. If you prefer, you can view the mark-up changes on the Board's website; www.archbd.state.ms.us/rules_law_archives.html
Major changes include:
- Of the 24 CEUs required at biennial renewal, structured activities must account for at least 16 CEUs. No more than 8 CEUs can be derived from self-directed activities. Structured and self-directed activities are defined. (4.05.2-4.05.4)
- Audit requirements are explained in more detail. (4.06.2 and 4.06.3)
- A person who is audited, and for whom credits are disallowed, has 90 days to substantiate their initial claim or to make-up the disallowed credits. Failure to do so will invalidate the person's renewal and license shall be deemed inactive. (4.06.4)
- The Committee established a penalty fee for late CEUs. In the case of a late renewal, a person claiming units earned after December 31 of the reporting period will be assessed a penalty of $200 plus $25.00 per CEU per month late. (4.07)
The Committee and/or Jenny Wilkinson will be happy to answer any questions. However, please pose your questions in writing by fax, email or letter. Fax: 601-856-1510
