Bill > H245

This bill seeks to establish a system of registration and regulation for commercial interior designers in Massachusetts. The key provisions include: - Defining the "practice of commercial interior design" and setting limits on the types of design work that registered commercial interior designers can perform without an architect's license. - Requiring commercial interior designers to pass the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam and obtain a certificate of registration from the newly established Board of Registration of Commercial Interior Designers. - Establishing a continuing education requirement for registered commercial interior designers to maintain their certification. - Prohibiting individuals from using the title "Registered Commercial Interior Designer" unless they have passed the NCIDQ exam and obtained the required certification. - Creating a "commercial interior designer emeritus" designation for retired commercial interior designers. - Authorizing the Board of Registration to enforce the law and imposing penalties for violations. The overall goal is to advance the profession of commercial interior design in Massachusetts by setting standards and requirements for practitioners in this field.
