The seven-person Architectural Registration
Board, originally established as the Board of
Examiners and Registration of Architects by
Chapt^309, Acts of 1935, adopted its present
name by Chapter 463, Acts of 1968. Members of

the Board are appointed by the Govenor with the
advice of the Secretary of Licensing and Regula-
tion and with the advice and consent of the Sen-
ate for five-year terms. The five architect
appointees to the Board must have engaged in the
independent practice of architecture for at least
ten years, and at least three of the members must
be graduates of approved schools of architecture.
One member represents the public. The Gover-
nor, with the advice of the Secretary of Licensing
and Regulation, designates the Chairperson.

The Board passes upon all matters pertaining
to the registration of architects in the State of
Maryland. All persons seeking to practice archi-
tecture in the State must submit their
qualifications to the Board or pass its examina-
tion before being registered and licensed to prac-
tice (Code 1957, Art. 43, sees. 515-28).
