An Act relative to advancing the profession of commercial interior design

This bill creates a new licensing system for commercial interior designers in Massachusetts to advance the profession. It establishes a board to oversee the registration process and defines specific rules for who can use the title "Registered Commercial Interior Designer." To qualify, individuals must pass a national exam and submit proof of their education and certifications to the state board. The law also clarifies the scope of work these designers can perform independently, such as preparing plans for interior spaces that do not involve major structural changes or complex building systems.
