To the extent you think the JAC process should control, I agree, but since the process has been in place since 2003 and the engineer members of the Committee refuse to budge from the position that engineers are exempt from the Architects Practice Act, the judicial branch has had to take over and, thankfully, they agree with the architectural profession's position. Maybe with this judicial opinion, some progress will be made with the JAC. We all wait with bated breath.Yvonne Castillonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861013954122160889.post-41048553344780033112010-06-11T12:52:16.573-05:002010-06-11T12:52:16.573-05:00The judgment requires review of the legislature, t...The judgment requires review of the legislature, the boards AND The Joint Advisory Committee (which includes all) to determine where the demarcation between the professions are. This is a tempest in a teapot. If your structure does not have Architectural, Engineering, and LAndscape certifications you are opening yourself for liability. All are equally important. The issue of whether one has the right to issue rules affecting the others is answered in the affirmative (Yes) but the JAC opinion needs to be followed to determine what rules control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861013954122160889.post-26183665357743616842010-06-07T16:08:56.418-05:002010-06-07T16:08:56.418-05:00what is the difference between "shame and &qu...what is the difference between "shame and "sham"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861013954122160889.post-8900203454699336632010-06-07T15:36:31.053-05:002010-06-07T15:36:31.053-05:00Truth, patience and justice win again!
