Bill > S2813

This bill establishes a Board of Registration of Commercial Interior Designers within the Executive Office for Administration and Finance. The board will consist of 5 members, 4 of whom must be registered commercial interior designers with at least 10 years of experience, and 1 member of the general public. The bill defines the "practice of commercial interior design" and allows registered commercial interior designers to prepare plans and specifications for interior spaces without an architect, with some limitations. The bill also outlines the requirements for obtaining a certificate of registration, including passing the National Council for Interior Design Qualification exam, and establishes continuing education requirements. The bill provides a provisional registration pathway for individuals with at least 10 years of interior design experience, allowing them to become fully registered if they pass the exam within 3 years.
