Relating to the renewal of a certificate of registration by certain interior designers.

HB 2286 requires certain interior designers who obtained certification without taking the registration exam to pass the exam by September 1, 2027, to renew their license after that date. It directly affects interior designers holding certificates issued under Chapter 1053 without examination. The bill amends the Occupations Code to mandate this exam requirement for renewal eligibility, with the provision set to expire on January 1, 2029. This creates a clear deadline for affected professionals to meet the new standard before their licenses can be renewed.
