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 After the expiration of six months the person whose certificate was revoked may have a new certificate issued to him by the secretary of state upon the certificate of the district board by which the certificate was revoked.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.
