Relating to the renewal of a certificate of registration by certain interior designers.

SB 1997 requires certain interior designers who obtained registration without passing an exam to pass the state's registration exam (adopted by the board and effective since 2014) in order to renew their license after September 1, 2037. This applies specifically to individuals holding certificates issued under Chapter 1053 without examination. The requirement expires on January 1, 2039, and the law takes effect September 1, 2025. The bill directly affects interior designers seeking to maintain their registration without prior exam passage.
