(2)           knowingly make any deceptive or false statements in an application for examination or in any other statements or representations to the Board, to any public agency, to a prospective or actual client, or to another Landscape Architect; or

(3)           fail to notify the Board of disciplinary action by a landscape architect licensing, registration or certification entity in another jurisdiction within five business days of that jurisdiction's final action in the matter.

(1)           uses the term "limited landscape architectural services" in all representations to the public and the client; and
