New PA 25-111

Effective June 24, 2025, Consumer Protection laws were updated to restrict the use of terms that imply someone practices architecture. Only a licensed architect may use terms such as “architectural design,” “architectural services,” or “architectural drawings.”

Additionally, individuals permitted to perform certain architecture-related activities without an architect license (under CGS 20-298) must clearly and conspicuously indicate on all contracts, advertisements, promotional materials, and specifications the statement: “NOT A LICENSED ARCHITECT.”

You can read the full language of this change in https://cga.ct.gov/asp/cgabillstatus/cgabillstatus.asp?selBillType=Publi... in sections 2 and 4.
