Senate Bill 993 amends existing statutes to clarify the role of Wisconsin registered interior designers in supervising construction projects. The bill specifies that these designers may supervise the construction of interior alterations or projects for which they have signed and sealed the necessary interior technical submissions. This change aims to enhance the responsibilities of registered interior designers, ensuring they can oversee the execution of their designs in compliance with public health, safety, and welfare requirements.
The bill also updates the definition of the practice of interior design to include the preparation of documents related to interior construction and the responsible supervision of such construction. Additionally, it reinforces that registered interior designers can sign and seal technical submissions required for public record while also allowing them to supervise the construction of the projects they design. These amendments are intended to streamline the process and clarify the authority of registered interior designers in Wisconsin.
