Summary

The bill requires Maryland’s State Board of Architects to deny, reprimand, suspend or revoke licenses when architects commit fraud, misrepresent their credentials, engage in misconduct, or are convicted of certain crimes. It also obligates the Board to notify county code officials of any suspension or revocation and lets code officials verify an architect’s seal and license on building permits. An electronic portal for anonymous complaints is established to help enforce these rules.
