SCS/HB 2221 - Under the act, the duties of the Interior Design Council are transferred to the Division of Professional Registration. The Council's role shall be to advise, guide, and make recommendations to the Director of the Division. The Director of the Division, rather than the Goveror, shall appoint members of the Council. Provisions of law allowing the Council to be sued are repealed.
Additionally, the act repeals the requirement that the experience requirements for registered interior designers be verified by at least two client references, business or employment verification, and three industry references.
This act is identical to provisions contained in the truly agreed CCS/SS/SCS/HB 1719 (2018) and is substantially similar to provisions contained in the truly agreed CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SB 843 (2018).
