Alabama Supreme Court Strikes Down Interior Design Practice Act
In a broad, sweeping decision, the Supreme Court of
Alabama unanimously struck down that state's interior design practice act, holding the law in its entirety unconstitutional and unenforceable. For more information, click here
The following bills and regulatory changes are of interest to interior designers:
- Assembly Bill (AB) 1333 - Bill refers to Mechanic's liens for design professionals. As
interior designers are not licensed by the state of California, they are not included.
- California Architects Board Rules and Regulations
Proposed Regulatory Changes Title 16, California Codes of Regulations (CCR)
Sections 134 & 135
Amendment to Sect.134 states no person
can use the terms "architect," "architecture" or "architectural" in any business name or description of services unless he or she is, in fact, a California licensed architect or the business entity
has as its owner, part-owner or officer a California licensed architect, who maintains responsible charge of the architectural services provided.
Interior designers cannot legally use the
terms "architectural," or "architect" or "architectural" in any form, regardless of this change. This language is already in the Architect's law.
Section 134 applies only to business names
and/or advertising architectural services. This does not affect practicing architects or interior designers.
