An Act relative to advancing the profession of commercial interior design

This bill establishes a new licensing system for commercial interior designers in Massachusetts to advance the profession. It creates a Board of Registration to issue two-year certificates to individuals who pass a national exam and meet specific educational requirements. The law defines the scope of work these designers can perform, such as preparing plans for interior spaces without altering structural elements, while explicitly excluding major structural, electrical, or plumbing changes that require an architect. Additionally, the bill mandates that licensed designers complete continuing education courses to maintain their registration.
