Bill > HB5144

This bill amends the Stille-DeRossett-Hale single state construction code act to allow certain licensed interior designers to submit building permit applications under specific conditions. The bill expands the list of professionals who can submit building permit applications to include interior designers who prepare interior technical submissions in the practice of interior design. It modifies existing language to include interior designers in various sections of the permit application process, such as who can submit plans, provide affidavits, and file documentation with the enforcing agency. The bill also adds definitions for key terms like "interior designer," "interior technical submission," and "practice of interior design," which are drawn from the occupational code. Additionally, the bill clarifies that this change only takes effect if a companion House Bill (HB 5142) is also enacted into law. The modifications aim to provide licensed interior designers with more professional capabilities in the building permit application process, recognizing their expertise in preparing technical submissions related to interior design.
