RE: LSA Document #09-908 – Concerning the Architect Registration Exam

Dear Representative Pelath:

On behalf of the Board of Registration for Architects and Landscape Architects (Board), I am submitting this notice to the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, because the Board has determined that the Governor's approval of the captioned rule may not be obtained within one year after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

The Board published its Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule for the captioned document on November 18, 2009 (DIN: 20091118-IR-804090908NIA). This rule is concerning issuance of registration, admission to examinations, scope of rule, definition of intern, and completion of training and experience. Prior to publishing the proposed rule, the Board must obtain State Budget Agency approval pursuant to Executive Order 2-89. After the proposed rule is published, the Board must hold a public hearing and consider any comments received prior to adopting the final rule. Thus, promulgation of this rule may not be completed by November 18, 2010. The Board expects that the rule can be approved by the Governor by July 31, 2011.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA Document #09-908 as July 31, 2011, is being submitted in a timely manner. July 26, 2010, is the two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Yours truly,

Angela Smith Jones, Director

State Board of Registration for Architects and Landscape Architects
