H 4354 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to advancing the profession of commercial interior design

H 4354 creates a formal registration system for commercial interior designers in Massachusetts. It requires individuals to hold nationally-recognized certification to practice, defines "commercial interior design" as work on nonstructural interior elements of buildings, and establishes a new Board of Registration to oversee licensing. The board, appointed by the governor, will set rules for education, experience, and conduct, with members needing at least 10 years of relevant practice. This bill directly affects commercial interior designers seeking to legally practice in the state and changes how their profession is regulated under Massachusetts law.
