SB 246 establishes licensing requirements for registered interior designers in Alaska and adds a registered interior designer position to the State Board of Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors. The bill extends the board's termination date to June 30, 2033, and clarifies that "project costs" include registered interior design services. It directly affects interior designers seeking licensure and the regulatory board overseeing multiple design professions. The law defines professional scope, adds a dedicated interior design seat to the board, and updates cost definitions for construction projects.
