§ 32126. Exemption Clause.

This Chapter shall not be construed to prevent the practice by:

(a) Temporary Permits.

(1) Professional Engineer/Architect — The practice or

offer to practice engineering, architecture or landscape

architecture by a person not a resident of or having no established

place of business on Guam, provided such person is legally

qualified by registration to practice engineering, architecture or

landscape architecture as defined in § 32103 of this Title, in his

own state or territory and, in the case of a person seeking to

practice architecture, who has a current certificate of registration

issued by the National Council of Architectural Registration

Boards, and in the case of a person seeking to practice landscape

architecture, who has a correct Certificate of Registration issued

by the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards.

Such person shall make application to the Board in writing and,

after payment of a fee as prescribed in the by-laws, may be granted

written permit for a definite period of time not to exceed one (1)

year to do a specific job, provided, however, that no right to

practice engineering, architecture or landscape architecture shall

accrue to such applicant with respect to any other work not set

forth in said permit. However, engineers hired as a chief engineer

for a government entity may be granted a one (1) year temporary

license from the date of hire. Prior to the expiration of his

temporary license, the individual must submit an application for a

regular or permanent registration to practice engineering, if

otherwise qualified, in order to continue to serve as Chief

Engineer.
