NC Board of Architecture Position Statement on HB 858 – Interior Designers
At its meeting on May 10, 2019 the North Carolina Board of Architecture met and discussed House Bill 858 – “An act to establish a framework for the voluntary registration of individuals in the profession of interior design and to allow registered professional interior designers to obtain permits from local governments”. The Board has issued the following statement:
It is the opinion of the North Carolina Board of Architecture that the path to professional licensure for interior designers, including the professional responsibly of public health, safety and welfare would be most appropriate as a joint board with the architects, as has been successful in other states. It is noted that HB 858, as written, does not have a governing board of licensees in any advisory capacity nor has there been a fiscal note only on the consequences of the misdemeanor provision.
Since 1915 North Carolina Board of Architecture has regulated the practice of architecture including the design, construction and alteration of buildings in North Carolina. Over that time the Board has worked cooperatively with the building inspectors, Building Code Council, professional engineers and general contractors. If interior design is licensed as a profession, the board anticipates that it would work cooperatively with them as licensed professionals. The Board does express the view that having a governing board of licensees has been beneficial in creating and promoting this pattern of cooperation.
