Registration of Architects in 1935 (Chapter 309,
Acts of 1935). The Board adopted its present
name in 1968 (Chapter 463, Acts of 1968). The
Board passes upon all matters pertaining to the
registration of architects in Maryland. All per-
sons, corporations, or partnerships seeking to
practice architecture in the State must submit
their qualifications to the Board or pass its exami-
nation before being registered and licensed to
practice.

The Governor appoints the Board's seven mem-
bers to five-year terms with the advice of the Sec-
retary of Licensing and Regulation and with the
advice and consent of the Senate. Five members

must be architects who have engaged in independ-
ent practice for at least ten years. At least three
members must be graduates of approved schools
of architecture. Two members represent the pub-
lic. The Governor designates the chairperson.

Authorization for the Board continues until Ju-
ly 1, 1993 (Code 1957, Art. 56, sees. 463^78).
