The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes related to the practices exempt from the Arizona Board of Technical Registration's (AZBTR) compliance requirements. Specifically, it would allow nonregistrants to design interior nonstructural alterations for individual units in commercial spaces that are one or two stories and do not exceed 3,000 square feet. This addition expands the scope of work that nonregistrants can perform without needing to comply with AZBTR regulations, thereby facilitating more flexibility in commercial property modifications.

Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes, including the removal of outdated language and the clarification of existing provisions. For instance, it replaces "single family" with "single-family" and modifies the language regarding the maximum size of additions and alterations. The bill also clarifies that the requirements of the chapter do not apply to certain work done by communications common carriers or their affiliates, provided that the engineering service is not offered directly to the public. Overall, these updates aim to streamline regulations while maintaining safety standards in the engineering and construction sectors.
