Alabama Board of Registered Interior Designers, prohibitions on size and type of building they may work on removed, right to discipline non-registered individuals restored, exemptions provided

HB 337 removes size and building-type restrictions that previously limited where Alabama-registered interior designers could work, allowing them to practice in all building types without the prior 2,500-square-foot threshold. The bill also grants the Alabama Board for Registered Interior Designers new authority to discipline non-registered individuals who improperly use the title or practice interior design. These changes directly affect registered interior designers (expanding their work opportunities) and unregistered practitioners (who may now face disciplinary action). The bill maintains existing prohibitions against registered designers performing engineering or architecture work.
