Overview
This bill establishes a Licensed Professional Interior Designer Practice Act in California, creating a new board to regulate the profession. Currently, interior design is overseen by a different board, and this bill aims to create a dedicated body to license, regulate, and discipline interior designers. The board will determine eligibility requirements, including education and examinations, and will be responsible for setting standards of practice and ensuring the quality of interior design services. It also addresses issues like liability, contract requirements, and reporting of judgments or settlements related to design work.
