What happens if a architect misses CE requirements in Louisiana, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.

CE noncompliance is disciplined through Board consent orders. In an August 2024 consent order for CY2022 CE failure and a misstatement on the renewal application, the Board imposed a $1,500 fine plus $200 in costs, required 12 makeup HSW hours and completion of the Board's Laws & Rules quiz, ordered a 5-renewal-cycle audit flag, and provided for immediate automatic suspension for failure to comply with the order's terms. Failure to comply with a Board consent order results in immediate automatic license suspension until compliance is shown.Verify with board
