", to establish minimum qualifications for eligibility to take examinations"

Section 2. § 313, Chapter 3, Title 24, Delaware Code, is hereby amended by striking Section 313 in its entirety, and substituting in lieu thereof a new § 313 as follows:

§ 313. Certificate of Registration; how to obtain

(f) In order to receive a certificate of registration, an applicant must possess such qualifications as established by the Board to become eligible to take an examination, and shall satisfactorily pass an examination in such academic college, technical and professional subjects as shall be prescribed by the Board.

(g) The Board may, in lieu of examination, accept satisfactory evidence of registration or certification as an architect in another state or country, where the requirements for the registration are equal, in the opinion of the Board to the requirements in this State. In such case, the Board may require applicants to furnish satisfactory evidence of knowledge of professional practice.
