(2) SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBTITLE, A

THROUGH A LICENSED ARCHITECT.

(B)  APPLICATION OF TITLE.

A LICENSED ARCHITECT WHO PRACTICES ARCHITECTURE THROUGH A
CORPORATION OR PARTNERSHIP UNDER THIS SUBTITLE IS SUBJECT TO ALL
OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS TITLE THAT RELATE TO PRACTICING
ARCHITECTURE.

(C)  LIABILITY NOT AFFECTED.

(1)  A CORPORATION OR PARTNERSHIP THAT PROVIDES
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES UNDER THIS SUBTITLE IS NOT, BY ITS
COMPLIANCE WITH THIS SUBTITLE, RELIEVED OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY
THAT THE CORPORATION OR PARTNERSHIP MAY HAVE FOR AN ACT OR
OMISSION OF ITS OFFICER, DIRECTOR, PARTNER, EMPLOYEE, OR AGENT.

(2)  AN INDIVIDUAL WHO PRACTICES ARCHITECTURE THROUGH
A CORPORATION OR PARTNERSHIP IS NOT, BY REASON OF THE

CORPORATION OR PARTNERSHIP, RELIEVED OF ANY INDIVIDUAL
RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE INDIVIDUAL MAY HAVE REGARDING THAT
PRACTICE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) and (c) of this section

are new language derived without substantive change

from former Art. 56, § 470(c)(5) and the first clause
of the first sentence of (1).

Subsection (b) of this section is new language added
to clarify the responsibility of an individual who
practices through a corporation or partnership.

In subsections (a)(l)(i) and (c)(1) of this section,
references to a "director" are added to clarify that a
director is allowed to practice architecture through a
corporation and to state the liability of a director.
See § 3-404(c) of this subtitle, which requires a
corporation to have appointed at least 1 director who
is a licensed architect as a responsible member for
the corporation to qualify for a permit.

In subsection (a)(1) and (2) of this section, the
defined term "licensed architect" is substituted for
the former references to "individual architects
registered under this subtitle", for brevity and
consistency.
