HB 2645 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of December 14, 1982 (P.L.1227, No.281), known as the Architects Licensure Law, further providing for title of act, for short title, for declaration of purpose, for definitions, for creation of board and appointment and term of members and officers, for organization of board, for powers of board, for duties of board, for examination and qualification of applicants, for reciprocal licensing, for issuance and renewal of certificates, for payment and disposition of fees and for seal of architect; providing for architectural firm registration and for architectural firm names; further providing for permitted practices, for existing licenses, for existing rules and regulations and for unauthorized practice prohibited; providing for certification of interior designers; further providing for disciplinary proceedings, for penalties and for complaint procedure and hearings; providing for regulations; further providing for severability, for repeals and for effective date; and making editorial changes.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Architects Licensure Law to formally include interior designers under the same regulatory board as architects. It establishes clear definitions for both professions and creates a specific certification process for interior designers to provide interior design services. The legislation also outlines requirements for architectural firm registration, sets rules for professional examinations, and defines the board's powers regarding licensing and disciplinary actions.
