Bill Summary · SB 3019

SB 3019 — Appropriation; Architecture, Board of

Status: Approved by Governor (Enrolled Bill Signed)
Introduced: March 14, 2025 (filed/received by Senate)
Classification: Appropriations bill (subject: appropriations, Appropriations A, Appropriations D)

Purpose / Intent

SB 3019 is an appropriations bill directed to the State Board of Architecture (hereafter “the Board”). Its primary purpose is to authorize and allocate funding to support the Board’s statutory functions—licensing, regulatory oversight, enforcement, continuing education oversight, and agency operations. The bill title indicates a direct budgetary appropriation rather than policy changes to licensing law.

Note: The version content provided does not include the bill text or dollar amounts. This summary describes the bill’s intent and likely components based on its title and classification; consult the bill’s enrolled text or legislative fiscal documents for exact appropriation amounts and line-item details.

Key provisions (as expected for an appropriation to a professional licensing board)

  • Appropriation of funds to the Board of Architecture for operating expenses (personnel, rent, supplies, etc.).
  • Funding for licensing and renewal system maintenance or upgrades (IT systems, online portals).
  • Support for enforcement and investigations (complaint processing, disciplinary hearings).
  • Funding for continuing education program oversight or outreach to licensees.
  • Possible limited-term positions or salary adjustments for Board staff.
  • Potential capital or equipment expenditures (office equipment, records management).
  • Identification of funding sources (state general fund and/or dedicated special funds/fees collected by the Board).
  • Implementation/contingency language (effective dates, reversion of unexpended funds, reporting requirements).

Because the bill’s text is not included here, it is not possible to confirm whether the appropriation is recurring or one-time, whether it contains provisos or conditional language, or whether it creates or amends any special accounts.

Who is affected

  • Board of Architecture (agency budget and operations)
  • Licensed architects and architectural applicants (licensing services, fee structure, enforcement capacity)
  • Consumers and public clients (oversight and disciplinary effectiveness)
  • State budget (allocation from general fund or special funds)
