Texas Sunset ADVISORY Commission stands behind deregulating Registered Interior Designers despite overwhelming opposition.
PROFESSIONALINTERIORDESIGNER is trying to stay on top of the effort to deregulate interior design in Texas….which from the middle of Kansas is easier said than done. If I get any of this wrong please let me know.
Here is the latest update from the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission;

Here from page #20 o is the key sentence “Staff Recommended Action
Adopt Recommendations 1.1 through 1.4.”
I am not a rocket surgeon but I read that as…despite overwhelming and compelling requests/testimony to deny the Advisory Commission’s recommendation to deregulate interior design in Texas, the Commission is still hell bent on making it happen. NOT COOL.
To make matters worse Texas State Representative Bill Callegari is on the warpath to roll back state regulation of all sorts…including interior design;

So Texas Registered Interior Designers…..the sun is getting lower on your horizon.
