So the NKBA has issues with California AB 2482 which would allow designers to become “registered” with the state.

Not sure who is parrotting who here but the IDPC is making similar claims of anti-competiveness.

Both expend a lot of breath claiming how the proposed legislation will spell doom to every carbon based bi-pedal oxygenated humanoid in California yet they do not explain how the bill will affect those interior designers who simply choose not to become “registered”- because it really doesn’t affect them. Much like the current “certified” designer voluntary quasi-regulation. IT DOES NOT MATTER.

Don’t want to practice as a “registered” interior designer? Then don’t. Simple.
