Public Policy
The practice of architecture should be regulated. The privileges and responsibilities of practice should be extended only to those architects who demonstrate through education, experience, and examination that they are ethically and technically prepared.

Supporting Position Statement:
6. Architectural Practice Definition

EXISTING LANGUAGE:
The AIA supports a uniform definition of architectural practice that delineates the scope of activities over which each jurisdiction has regulatory control. The definition should follow the recommendations developed by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards.

PROPOSED NEW LANGUAGE  None

Do you agree with this position statement?
The AIA should not support the portion of the NCARB statement that states, "but we understand that certain states have certain exemptions for certain buildings and certain professionals".>
The AIA should advocate strongly that only states that issue licenses have the ability to define practice and that local governments are prohibited from revising or refining definitions.
