Tennessee Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners
Proposed Rule Notify
Pursuant to T.C.A. § 4-3-1306(d), you are receiving this notice because you have elected to receive notification by e-mail of certain changes or potential changes to the law applicable to your profession.
On December 7, 2017, the Tennessee Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners amended rules affecting licensed architects, engineers, landscape architects, and registered interior designers. These rules were filed with the Secretary of State on April 25, 2018 and are effective as of July 24, 2018. These changes would amend the Tennessee Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners Rules and Regulations as follows:
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0120-01-.04 is amended to reduce the length of time that comity applications, reapplications, and engineering intern applications are held in a “pending” status with the Tennessee Board of Architectural and Engineering Examiners (“Board”) from five (5) years to one (1) year.
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0120-01-.06 is amended to eliminate a $15.00 application fee for engineer interns.
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0120-01-.10 is amended to disallow a graduate level degree used to satisfy the education requirements to also be used to satisfy the experience requirement for registration.
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0120-01-.11 is amended to allow an architectural degree from a program accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) or a program substantially similar under the NAAB to be equivalent to a degree from a NAAB-accredited program.
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0120-01-.15 and 0120-01-.16 are amended to allow applicants to apply to sit and test for required examinations directly with the testing entity. Without this rule, applicants must apply with the Board and the testing entity.
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0120-04-.03 is amended to add an expiration of one (1) year for applications and reapplications for registration as a registered interior designer. Extensions may be granted as determined by the Board upon written request.
A copy of the rule filing is available for review on the website of the Secretary of State at http://publications.tnsosfiles.com/rules_filings/04-25-18.pdf
