Relating to: registered interior designers supervising certain construction.
AB 914 expands the authority of Wisconsin-registered interior designers by allowing them to legally supervise interior construction projects and sign off on required construction documents. The bill amends statutes to clarify that "practice of interior design" includes responsible supervision of interior alterations or construction, and permits registered designers to seal interior technical submissions for public records. This directly affects licensed interior designers working on interior projects (like office remodels or retail spaces) that don't require structural changes or additional exits. The key change removes barriers preventing designers from overseeing construction work they’ve prepared plans for, aligning their role with safety and building code requirements.
