In carrying out its responsibility to insure strict enforcement of the Architects' Registration Law (the Act), the Board may investigate circumstances which appear to violate or abridge the requirements of the Act or the rules dealing with the Practice of Architecture and the use of the title "architect." The Board also may investigate representations which imply that a person or a business entity is legally authorized to offer or provide architectural services to the public. Violations of the Act or the rules which cannot be readily resolved through settlement shall be disposed of by administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings as authorized by law.
