AI Summary

This bill aims to advance the profession of interior design in Massachusetts by establishing a state board of registration for interior designers. The key provisions include: 1. Defining "registered interior designer" and outlining the requirements for registration, including passing the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam and completing continuing education. 2. Granting registered interior designers the authority to sign, seal, and submit interior technical submissions for permits, with some limitations. 3. Establishing a board of registration for interior designers to oversee the profession, including enforcing the law and promulgating rules. 4. Allowing corporations, partnerships, and other business entities to have non-licensed interior designers in leadership roles, as long as they comply with the law. 5. Specifying that this law takes precedence over any other state law or regulation that may conflict with its provisions.
