 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the education law, in relation to continuing education
requirements for interior designer certification

 PURPOSE :

To ensure interior designers receive continuing education to stay
informed of new developments relevant to their profession.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends the education law by adding a new section 8305-a
providing each licensed interior designer required to register
triennially with the department to practice in the state shall meet
continuing education requirements. Interior designers who do not
satisfy the requirements shall not practice until they have met the
requirements and have been issued a registration certificate, except
if a conditional registration certificate is issued. Adjustment to the
requirement may be granted by the department for reasons of health,
extended active military duty or other good cause acceptable to the
department which may prevent compliance. A licensed interior designer
not engaged in practice is exempt from the requirements until
returning to practice. A licensed designer is also exempt from the

requirements for the triennial period during which he or she is first
licensed.

During each triennial registration period an applicant for
registration shall complete a minimum of 20 hours of acceptable
continuing education, provided a minimum of 16 hours shall consist of
courses in the state building code and fire safety code and related
subjects. Any interior designer whose first registration date
following the effective date of this section occurs less than three
years from such effective date, but on or after January 1, 2017, shall
complete continuing education hours on a prorated basis at the rate of
one hour per month for the period beginning January 1, 2016 up to the
first registration date thereafter.

The department may, in its discretion, issue a conditional
registration to a licensee who fails to meet the continuing education
requirements but who agrees to make up any deficiencies and complete
any additional education the department may require. The fee for a
conditional registration shall be the same as, in addition to, the fee
for the triennial registration. The duration of the conditional
registration shall be determined by the department and not exceed one
year. Any licensee notified of denial of registration for failure to
submit satisfactory evidence of required continuing education who
nonetheless practices interior design shall be subject to disciplinary
proceedings.

Acceptable continuing education consists of courses of learning and
other activities which contribute to the profession or practice of
interior design and meet the regulations of the commissioner. The
department may require the completion of courses in specific subjects.
Such courses of learning must be taken from a sponsor approved by the
department, pursuant to regulations of the commissioner.

Interior designers shall maintain adequate documentation of completion
of acceptable continuing education and shall provide such
documentation at the request of the department. The mandatory
continuing education fee shall be $30 and shall be payable on or
before the first day of each triennial registration period, and shall
be paid in addition to the triennial registration fee.

Section 2 provides this act shall take effect on the first of January
next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.

 EXISTING LAW :

There are presently no such continuing education requirements for
interior designers.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Continuing education is required in a number of professions to ensure
practitioners stay current with new developments relevant to the
practice. Importantly, among those developments are changes in laws
and regulations. It is critical that interior designers stay up to
date with current state building code, fire safety code and related
subjects.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

Undetermined

 LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect on the first January next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become a law.

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the education law, in relation to continuing education
requirements for certified interior designer certification

 PURPOSE :

To ensure certified interior designers receive continuing education to
stay informed of new developments relevant to their profession.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends the education law by adding a new section 8305-a
providing each certified interior designer required to register
triennially with the department to practice in the state shall meet
continuing education requirements. Interior designers who do not
satisfy the requirements shall not use the title certified interior
designer until they have met the requirements and have been issued a
registration certificate, except if a conditional registration
certificate is issued. Adjustment to the requirement may be granted by
the department for reasons of health, extended active military duty or
other good cause acceptable to the department which may prevent
compliance. A certified interior designer not engaged in practice is
exempt from the requirements until returning to practice.  A certified

designer is also exempt from the requirements for the triennial period
during which he or she is first licensed.

During each triennial registration period an applicant for
registration shall complete a minimum of 20 hours of acceptable
continuing education, provided a minimum of 16 hours shall consist of
courses in the state building code and fire safety code and related
subjects. Any certified interior designer whose first registration
date following the effective date of this section occurs less than
three years from such effective date, but on or after January 1, 2017,
shall complete continuing education hours on a prorated basis at the
rate of one hour per month for the period beginning January 1, 2016 up
to the first registration date thereafter.

The department may, in its discretion, issue a conditional
registration to a certificate holder who fails to meet the continuing
education requirements but who agrees to make up any deficiencies and
complete any additional education the department may require. The fee
for a conditional registration shall be the same as, in addition to,
the fee for the triennial registration. The duration of the
conditional registration shall be determined by the department and not
exceed one year. Any certificate holder notified of denial of
registration for failure to submit satisfactory evidence of required
continuing education who nonetheless uses the title certified interior
designer shall be subject to disciplinary proceedings.

Acceptable continuing education consists of courses of learning and
other activities which contribute to the profession or practice of
interior design and meet the regulations of the commissioner. The
department may require the completion of courses in specific subjects.
Such courses of learning must be taken from a sponsor approved by the
department, pursuant to regulations of the commissioner.

Certified interior designers shall maintain adequate documentation of
completion of acceptable continuing education and shall provide such
documentation at the request of the department. The mandatory
continuing education fee shall be $30 and shall be payable on or
before the first day of each triennial registration period, and shall
be paid in addition to the triennial registration fee.
