LAWS OF MARYLAND

(B)  APPLICATION OF TITLE.

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

(C)  LIABILITY NOT AFFECTED.

(1)  A CORPORATION OR PARTNERSHIP THAT PROVIDES
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES TO OTHERS 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, PARTNER, EMPLOYEE, OR AGENT.

(2)  AN INDIVIDUAL WHO PRACTICES LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECTURE THROUGH A CORPORATION OR PARTNERSHIP IS NOT, BY
REASON OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP WITH
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, § 280(a) and (c)(4) 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 subsection (a)(1) and (2) of this section, the
defined term "licensed landscape architect" is
substituted for the former references to "individual
landscape architects licensed under this subtitle",
for brevity and consistency.

In subsection (a)(l)(ii) of this section, the former
reference to "officers" of a, partnership is deleted as
erroneous.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the provision
that a "corporation or partnership, as such, may not
be licensed or registered to practice landscape
architecture" is deleted as unnecessary in light of
the use of the limited word "individual" in Subtitle 3
of this title, which provides for licenses, and as
misleading in light of the requirements of this
subtitle for a permit.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the express
reference to an "omission" is added to clarify that
the former references to the "conduct or acts"
encompassed the failure to act.
