The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the practices exempt from compliance with the Arizona Board of Technical Registration's (AZBTR) requirements. Specifically, it would allow nonregistrants to design interior nonstructural alterations for individual units within commercial spaces that are one or two stories and exceed 3,000 square feet, provided that these individual units do not exceed 3,000 square feet themselves. However, this exemption would not apply to assembly occupancy as defined in the adopted building code. Additionally, the bill would clarify the language regarding the one-time addition for storage purposes, changing "one-time" to "onetime" and making other technical adjustments for consistency.

Furthermore, the bill would make several deletions and insertions to refine the language of the existing statute. For instance, it would replace "single family" with "single-family" and adjust the phrasing around the responsibilities of nonregistrants and the conditions under which they may operate. The bill also aims to ensure that the requirements of the chapter do not apply to certain work done by communications common carriers or public service corporations, provided that the engineering services are not offered directly to the public. Overall, these changes aim to modernize the regulations while maintaining public safety standards.
