This Board was created to enforce the law and rules governing architects, engineers, landscape architects and registered interior designers. To protect the public health, safety, and welfare, licensees who fail to follow the law and rules of the profession are subject to disciplinary action.
The Board cannot recover or order the refund of any money or property to which you may be entitled. You should consult with your own attorney about a lawsuit in these matters. In some cases, the Board may revoke or suspend the license of the person against whom you are complaining (the respondent).
When the Board receives your complaint, it will be initially reviewed to determine if there is a possibility of imminent danger to the health, safety and welfare to the public. If there is, then this complaint will be forwarded directly to the Board's legal counsel. If not, a copy of this complaint will then be sent to the respondent asking for his or her response within 14 days. The complaint and the response will be forwarded to the Board's legal counsel for review. If additional information is necessary an investigation will be initiated. The Board's legal counsel will present the findings to the Board, which has the sole authority to determine the appropriate action. You will be notified of the Board's decision.
If the Board conducts a formal hearing in the matter, you may be subpoenaed to testify.
