INTERIOR DESIGNERS: Provides relative to board members and qualifications of the State Board of Examiners of Interior Designers. (8/1/24)
SB 257 amends the qualifications section of the State Board of Examiners of Interior Designers by changing the word "Designer" to "Design." This legislative change directly affects the official title and scope of the board's authority regarding interior design standards. The bill does not alter the board's membership rules or the specific requirements for becoming a licensed interior designer. Instead, it serves as a technical correction to ensure the board's name and related statutes accurately reflect its focus on the practice of design rather than the individual professionals.
