2.2    Definitions in Alphabetical Order

Exemptions

The Board interprets the language of Sections 12-45-118, C.R.S., as follows:

The practice of architecture, professional engineering, and professional land surveying as defined in Title 12, Article 25, C.R.S., is exempt by Section 12-45-118(1)(a), (b) and (c), C.R.S., respectively; pursuant to Section 12-45-113(2)(o), C.R.S., however, architects, professional engineers, and professional land surveyors are subject to disciplinary or other action if they hold themselves out as a licensed landscape architect or employ any title restricted by these Rules or Title 12, Article 45, C.R.S. without being licensed as a landscape architect.

5.1.5  Limiting Scope of Responsibility. When a licensee signs and seals a document, the licensee is responsible for the entire document unless the licensee limits the seal by including a specific written statement adjacent to the seal that accurately reflects the scope of responsibility for the document.  All aspects of the work shown on that document must be signed and sealed by the person(s) in direct supervision.

5.2.1  Circumstances and Applicable Actions. When a landscape architect is presented with a certification to be signed and/or sealed, the landscape architect should carefully evaluate that certification to determine if any of the following circumstances apply.

(c)	Matters that were not prepared under the landscape architect’s direct supervision.

5.4.2  Holding Out as Registered Landscape Architect (RLA) or Professional Landscape Architect (PLA). Use of the designation "RLA" or “PLA” may constitute holding out as a licensed landscape architect if it is established that the designation is intended to represent the status of a licensed landscape architect in Colorado.
