APRIL 2019
AIA Louisiana is currently conducting a new campaign at the state capitol to pass public policy that positively impacts the profession. 
sketching
  • AIA Louisiana has introduced legislation, HB 354 by Reid Falconer, AIA, which would eliminate the exemption in R.S. 37:155 which allows civil engineers to practice architecture. Louisiana is the only state in the country which allows this exemption, which was initiated in 1946. Incidental practice would continue to be acceptable for both professions.
  • There will also be legislation this year by Interior Designers which would expand the Interior Designers Practice Act, further encroaching on our profession.
  • There will be legislation introduced termed the “Transparency in Business Act” which would allow computer tracking devices on the computers of businesses that have contracts with the state. The software is sold by one company and is being introduced in every state.

WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION WORTH? Your practice is regulated by the legislature and state and local agencies. Positive efforts have been enabled by membership in the Political Action Committee of AIA Louisiana. It is possible that up to 48 new House members will be elected in the fall of 2019. In the Senate, 41% of members are term limited. 

This year’s goal is to raise $25,000. Click here to make your investment . 

Bottom Line: We need your support. Can you help to advance this campaign and with it, the issues that AIA Louisiana is advocating for at the legislature?

Sincerely,
