The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the practices exempt from compliance with the Arizona Board of Technical Registration (AZBTR). Specifically, it would allow nonregistrants to design interior nonstructural alterations of individual units within commercial spaces that are one or two stories and exceed 3,000 square feet, provided that the individual unit itself does not exceed 3,000 square feet. However, this exemption would not apply to assembly occupancy as defined in the adopted building code. Additionally, the bill would clarify that a nonregistrant may also design a one-time single addition for storage purposes not exceeding 1,500 square feet.

The bill would also make several technical and conforming changes to existing language, such as updating the terminology from "single family" to "single-family" and adjusting the phrasing around the exemptions for nonregistrants. Furthermore, it would remove outdated monetary limits on certain projects, replacing them with a more straightforward dollar amount. Overall, these updates aim to streamline the regulations surrounding nonregistrant practices while ensuring public safety and compliance with building codes.
