Does ASID support title acts and/or practice acts?
In reality, the variation in language and nuanced provisions of specific title and practice legislation often make the distinction between the two unclear. For that reason, ASID will evaluate each individual piece of legislation to see if it meshes with ASID legislative policies. ASID supports legislation that legally recognizes the interior design profession and enables all interior designers to practice to the fullest extent of their capabilities. ASID will not support title acts that restrict the use of the title “interior designer.” We will support title acts that recognize state-qualified “certified,” “registered” or “licensed” interior designers. Further, ASID will not support legislation that restricts interior design services that do not affect building codes or other statutes.
