(a) The applicant is 65 years of age or older; and

(b) The applicant has been registered in this state for ten (10) consecutive years or longer;

(c) The applicant is retired from the active practice of architecture. "Retired" means the architect no longer seals documents or practices architecture as defined by § 34-2-30(3) and (4), Code of Ala. 1975.

(3) Emeritus Architects are exempt from all renewal requirements including continuing education.

(4) It is recommended that Emeritus Architects keep their address information current with the Board in order to continue to be included in Board news.
