Legislative Strategy |
|
Protect . Promote . Preserve |
|
Legislation will benefit the profession of interior design and distinguish those who meet required education, examination and experience standards . It is not intended to exclude anyone from working in the field, but to differentiate interior designers who work to achieve a certain level of knowledge and competency. Twenty-six states have implemented legislation for the profession of interior design. The majority of these states has adopted standards that were developed by ASID and IIDA to define the profession. Colorado currently has a Permitting Statute that was enacted in 2001 which allows qualified interior designers to submit plans for permit within their specified scope of service. This law is the first of its kind. However, because there is no registry board in place to regulate qualified professional interior designers, the statute has been underutilized. CIDC’s Strategic Plan is guided by the Board of Directors and the counsel of a professional Lobbyist. Based on the current legislative climate and the advice of our Lobbyist, CIDC’s efforts in 2008 will target Certification of Interior Designers in Colorado. A Sunrise Report will be submitted to the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) in pursuit of this strategy. DORA must then respond in 120 days with their recommendation.
