The bill amends Section 1051.351(c-1) of the Occupations Code regarding the renewal of certificates of registration for certain interior designers. It stipulates that individuals who hold a certificate issued under Chapter 1053 without examination will not be able to renew their certificate after September 1, 2037, unless they have passed the registration examination adopted by the board by that date. Additionally, the expiration date for this requirement is extended to January 1, 2039.

The bill also specifies that the new provisions will take effect on September 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to ensure that interior designers maintain current qualifications by requiring them to pass a registration examination for renewal of their certification.
