This bill amends various sections of the Alaska Statutes to formally recognize and regulate the practice of registered interior design alongside existing professions such as architecture, engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture. Key provisions include the definition of "project costs" to include expenses related to registered interior design services, the extension of the State Board of Registration for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors' termination date to June 30, 2033, and the inclusion of a registered interior designer on the board. The bill outlines the requirements for registered interior designers, including the types of documents they are authorized to sign and stamp for construction projects, and establishes a registration process that allows individuals with valid out-of-state certifications to apply in Alaska.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals may practice interior design without registration as long as they do not use the title "registered interior designer." It sets forth penalties for violations, such as practicing without proper registration or using false credentials, classifying these as misdemeanors. The legislation also modifies existing laws related to engineering and construction, particularly in emergency situations, and includes a transition provision for the appointment of interior designers to the State Board. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the professional standards and regulatory framework for interior design in Alaska, ensuring that individuals and firms providing these services are properly registered and meet established qualifications.
