CA Governor passes Mandatory Continuing Education on Disabled Access Requirements

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation on September 29, 2008, requiring California architects to complete mandatory continuing education courses on disabled access requirements as a condition of license renewal.

This mandate will be required of licensees renewing their license beginning in July 2009. The Board’s implementation plan for this requirement will be determined in the near future and will be influenced by the resources appropriated for this new program. Information on the relevant portion of the bill can be found on pages 3 - 4 of
Senate Bill 1608.

Visit the
California Architects Board website for updated information and local programs to meet your requirement.
