AI Summary
This bill, titled "Arch, Eng, Surveyors; Reg Int Design," significantly expands the scope of regulation for design professionals in Alaska by formally including "registered interior designers" alongside architects, engineers, and land surveyors. Key provisions include extending the termination date of the State Board of Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors to June 30, 2033, and increasing the board's membership to include one registered interior designer. The bill clarifies that practicing interior design without using the title "registered interior designer" is permissible, but using the title requires registration. It also updates various statutes to incorporate registered interior design into definitions, qualifications for registration, professional conduct, contract procurement, and lien rights, ensuring that interior design services are treated similarly to other regulated design professions.
