Relating to: registered interior designers supervising certain construction.
SB 993 allows Wisconsin-registered interior designers to legally supervise interior construction projects and sign technical documents required for building permits. It expands their scope of practice by explicitly permitting them to oversee interior alterations or construction (like remodeling offices or retail spaces) without structural changes, as defined in the statute. The bill amends existing law to clarify that registered interior designers can be responsible for construction supervision and document sealing for these specific interior projects. This directly affects licensed interior designers and the businesses or projects they manage, without changing requirements for structural engineering or architectural work. The law does not alter building codes or safety standards but defines the professional boundaries for interior design practice.
