State Architects Licensure Board--
Requirements for Examination Eligibililty;
Regulation No. 16A-419 (#2629)

   On August 15, 2007, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the State Architects Licensure Board (Board). This rulemaking amends 49 Pa. Code Chapter 9. The proposed regulation was published in the August 25, 2007 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on June 13, 2008.

   This regulation will require the candidates who do not pass the entire Architect Registration Examination within five years to retake any division of the examination that is more than five years old, instead of having to retake all divisions within a new five-year period.

   We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (63 P. S. §§ 34.6(a) and (d)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.

By Order of the Commission:

   This regulation is approved.

   This regulation deletes outdated and repetitive provisions and adds language that permits pharmacies to maintain supplies and equipment necessary for that particular pharmacy's area of practice.

   We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (63 P. S. §§ 390-4(j) and 390-6(k)(1) and (9)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.
