Overview
This bill extends the regulations governing interior designers in California, primarily through the California Council for Interior Design Certification (council). It requires certified interior designers to report any judgments, settlements, or arbitration awards of $5,000 or more to the council and their insurers. The bill also mandates that the council’s meetings be subject to the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act and establishes rules for public participation in policy decisions. Furthermore, it limits the council’s staff salaries and clarifies the definition of ‘design professional’ to include certified interior designers.
