Bill Summary

General Description: This bill modifies the State Certification of Commercial Interior Designers Act.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the State Certification of Commercial Interior Designers Act by updating the definition of "building" to include necessary utility services and other facilities, and by clarifying the scope of "practice of commercial interior design" to encompass work on any occupancy classification within the International Building Code, provided the work is limited to non-structural, non-seismic, and non-load-bearing interior elements. It also specifies that this practice does not include work on base building life safety components or changes to structural elements, foundations, exterior walls, or major building systems like HVAC, electrical, or plumbing, unless a licensed architect or engineer is required. Furthermore, the bill expands the definition of "unlawful conduct" to include misrepresenting oneself as a state-certified commercial interior designer or using any title that falsely suggests licensure under the act, and it clarifies that engaging in the practice without proper exemption or certification is also unlawful.
