Public Act 098-0288
SB1792 Enrolled LRB098 10543 MGM 40784 b
AN ACT concerning regulation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Architecture Practice Act of 1989
is amended by changing Section 13 as follows:
(225 ILCS 305/13) (from Ch. 111, par. 1313)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2020)
Sec. 13. Qualifications of applicants. Any person who is of
good moral character may apply for licensure if he or she is a
graduate with a first professional degree in architecture from
a program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting
Board, has completed the examination requirements set forth
under Section 12 of this Act, and has completed such
diversified professional training, including academic
training, as is required by rules of the Department. Until
January 1, 2016 2014, in lieu of the requirement of graduation
with a first professional degree in architecture from a program
accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board,
the Department may admit an applicant who is a graduate with a
pre-professional 4 year baccalaureate degree accepted for
direct entry into a first professional master of architecture
degree program, and who has completed such additional
diversified professional training, including academic

training, as is required by rules of the Department. The
Department may adopt, as its own rules relating to diversified
professional training, those guidelines published from time to
time by the National Council of Architectural Registration
Boards.
Good moral character means such character as will enable a
person to discharge the fiduciary duties of an architect to
that person's client and to the public in a manner which
protects health, safety and welfare. Evidence of inability to
discharge such duties may include the commission of an offense
justifying discipline under Section 22. In addition, the
Department may take into consideration whether the applicant
has engaged in conduct or actions that would constitute grounds
for discipline under this Act.
