by the president and secretary, sealed with the seal of the district board, and directed to the secretary of state, setting forth the fact that the person therein named has passed a satisfactory examination, and that such person is entitled to a certificate to practice architecture in this state, in accordance with the provisions of this act; and upon the payment to the secretary of state of a fee of five dollars, the secretary shall at once issue to the person therein named a certificate to practice architecture in this state in accordance with the provisions of this act, which certificate shall contain the full name of the applicant, his birth-place and age, together with the name of the district board issuing the certificate, and date of issuance thereof. All papers received by the secretary of state on application for certificate shall be kept on file in his office, and a proper index and record thereof shall be kept by him. §4. Any architect in good standing, who shall show to the satisfaction of the district board of the district in which such architect may reside, that he was engaged in the practice of the profession of architecture on the date of the passage of this act, shall be granted a certificate without passing an examination, on the payment to the district board of a fee of five dollars; provided, such application shall be made within six months from and after the passage of this act. Said certificate shall set forth the fact that the person to whom the same was issued was practicing architecture in this state at the time of the passage of this act, and that the person therein named is entitled to a certificate to practice architecture without having to pass an examination by the district board; and the secretary of state shall, upon the payment to him of a fee of five dollars, issue to the person named therein a certificate to practice architecture in this state, in accordance with the provisions of this act. Each certificated architect shall have his certificate recorded in the office of the county recorder, in each and every county in this state, in which the holder thereof shall practice, and he shall pay to the recorder the same fee as is charged for the recording of deeds. A failure to have his certificate so recorded shall be deemed sufficient cause for revocation of such certificate. § 5. After the expiration of six months from the passage of this act, it shall be unlawful, and it shall be a misdemeanor, punishable by fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, for any person to practice architecture without a certificate in this state, or to advertise, or put out any sign or card, or other device which might indicate to the public that he was an architect; provided, that nothing in this act shall prevent any person from making plans for his own buildings, nor furnishing plans or other data for buildings for other persons, provided the person so furnishing such plans or data shall fully inform the person for whom such plans or data are furnished, that he, the person furnishing such plans, is not a certified architect; provided, that nothing in this act shall prevent the employment of an architect residing out of the state of California to prepare plans and specifications for buildings or other structures within the state, conditioned he shall present satisfactory evidence to the board of the district in which the structure is to be erected that he is a competent architect, when such board shall issue to such architect a temporary certificate for such employment, upon the payment of a fee of five dollars. Architects' certificates issued in accordance with the provisions of this act shall remain in full force until revoked for cause, as hereinafter provided for in this act. A certificate may be revoked for dishonest practices, or for gross incompetency in the practice of the profession, which questions shall be determined by the district board of the district in which the person whose certificate is called in question shall reside, or shall be doing business; and upon a full investigation of the charges by the district board, an opportunity having been given the accused to be heard in his own defense or by counsel; and upon the verdict of at least four members of the district board, the board may issue its certificate to the secretary of state revoking the certificate of the person accused; and the secretary of state shall thereupon cancel such certificate. And on the cancellation of such certificate, it shall be the duty of the secretary of the district board to give notice of such cancellation to the county recorder of each county in this state, whereupon the recorder shall mark the certificate recorded in his office "Canceled." After the expiration of six months the person whose certificate was revoked may have a new certificate issued to him by the secretary of state upon the certificate of the district board by which the certificate was revoked. Every certificated architect shall have a seal, the impression of which must contain the name of the architect, his place of business, and the words "Certificated architect," with which he may stamp all plans prepared by him. § 6. This act shall take effect from and after its passage. § 7. Each regularly certificated architect shall pay an annual license fee of five dollars, said fee to be paid to the secretary of the board of the district of which he shall be a resident, and shall be payable in advance on January 1, and shall become delinquent the first day of April, of each year, after which date it shall be delinquent, and the certificate of such architects who shall fail to pay their license fees by April 1 of each year, shall be subject to cancellation by said district board, and notice of such cancellation shall be sent to each county recorder of the state of California and to the secretary of state, as provided in section 5 of the act to regulate the practice of architecture, approved March 23, 1901, for cancellation of certificates. And the secretary of the said district shall issue a receipt signed by the president and secretary of the district, and under the seal of the district board, to each architect paying said license fee, showing that said certificated architect has paid his annual license fee, which license receipt shall be displayed in a prominent place in the office of said architect. The fees so collected shall be used to meet the expenses of the state board of architecture. Gen. Laws--3 [New section approved March 26, 1903. Stats. 1903, p. 522. In effect immediately.] Citations.
