Legislation Press Release
The Interior Design Coalition of California continues it’s initiative to improve the business environment for consumers and interior designers. We view the past several weeks of deliberation with the California Assembly Business, Professions and Consumer Protection Committee as critical initial steps in educating legislators on the issues with the current law. We are pleased with our accomplishments and are engaged in moving our legislative goals specifically, seeking to ensure drawings submitted by qualified interior designers in California will be universally accepted by building officials in the State. We will continue to seek solutions to this ongoing issue, and look forward to working with our legislators to find a satisfactory solution.
“The State of California requires a ‘sunset review process’ for many professional Boards,” explained IDCC President Suzanne Zurinaga, “giving the California State Legislature the opportunity to regularly evaluate what works in the law and what does not. The Certified Interior Designer (CID) law has served as an essential steppingstone for the interior design profession in the State. However, due in large part to the inconsistent acceptance of CID stamps by local building officials, it is time for improvement. There are several different options for how to accomplish this, and we will consider them all.”
The Interior Design Coalition of California (IDCC), and its stakeholders will all continue to work closely with the State to strengthen consumer protections, foster competitive markets and increase business opportunities for all interior designers in California.
