Bill > S132

This bill aims to establish a system for the registration and regulation of interior designers in Massachusetts. Key provisions include: - Defining the "practice of interior design" and the requirements for becoming a "registered interior designer," including passing the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam. - Requiring registered interior designers to complete continuing education and renew their registration every two years. - Allowing registered interior designers to prepare and submit "interior technical submissions" (e.g., designs, drawings, specifications) for obtaining building permits, with the ability to sign, seal, and submit these documents. - Establishing a Board of Registration of Interior Designers to oversee the registration process and enforce the law. - Permitting certain business entities (e.g., corporations, partnerships) to have non-licensed interior designers in management and ownership roles. - Clarifying that the law takes precedence in the event of any conflict with other laws or regulations regarding the participation of licensed professionals in the formation or management of certain business entities.
