ARC 1431C

INTERIOR DESIGN EXAMINING BOARD[193G]

Adopted and Filed

Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 544C.3, the Interior Design Examining Board hereby amends Chapter 2, "Registration," Iowa Administrative Code.

The amendment reduces the registration fee and places the fee structure in the rules.

Notice of Intended Action for this amendment was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin as ARC 1298C on February 5, 2014. A public hearing was held on February 25, 2014. No public comment was received. No changes were made to the amendment.

This rule is subject to waiver or variance pursuant to 193—Chapter 5.

The Interior Design Examining Board adopted this amendment on March 31, 2014.

After analysis and review of this rule making, a positive jobs impact could exist. A person may practice as an interior designer without registering with the Board; however, the amendment reduces the registration fee, which may make registration more attractive to interior designers.

This amendment is intended to implement Iowa Code chapters 17A, 272C, and 546 and section 544C.3.

This amendment will become effective June 4, 2014.

The following amendment is adopted.

Amend subrule 2.1(4) as follows:

2.1(4) Applications. Persons applying for initial or renewal registration shall submit an application on a form provided by the board and shall pay a registration fee of $275. Certificates issued to registrants with last names beginning with A through K shall expire on June 30 of even-numbered years, and certificates issued to registrants with last names beginning with L through Z shall expire on June 30 of odd-numbered years. Registration fees and continuing education requirements shall be applied pro rata to those registrants whose certificates expire in less than two years.
