The Board approved the following Course(s):
(See Attached)
After the Committee's report, discussion ensued about the lag time for approval
of courses submitted by the public. Ms. Edwards stated that she has a person on staff
who reviews continuing education audits and courses for two of the other design boards
She stated that the staff person could review interior design courses. After discussion
the Board decided to change the procedure for approval of continuing education
courses. Courses will be reviewed by the administrative staff person with the caveat
that any unusual or questionable courses will be referred to the Board for review.
Motion (II) was made by Robyn Dubick, seconded by Karen Zopf and
unanimously carried to accept the report of the Continuing Education Committee and the
proposed change in procedure.
CORRESPONDENCE
An email was received from Robert Lopez, Executive Director of the New York
Board, regarding a bill that was introduced in New York that would give the Certified
Interior Designers a "Practice Act" for the first time. They had a "Title Act" for many
years. He attached a copy of the bill for the Board's information.

NEW BUSINESS
Ms. Dubick informed the Board that she would be attending the CIDQ meeting in
November. She said that she was asked to give a three-minute presentation on what is
unique about the Maryland Board. Ms. Trust pointed out that an excellent example of
what makes the Maryland Board unique is that the five professional boards form a
"design cluster" and the joint chairs of the design boards meet quarterly to discuss
common topics resulting in a cooperative effort to resolve issues. Also, legislation is
introduced jointly rather than by just one board further benefitting the Boards' efforts.
Ms. Trust stated that she received a call from Barbara Brocato about
municipalities accepting the signature and seal of certified interior designers on
documents and plans. Ms. Trust noted that the law states that a certified interior
designer shall sign and seal interior design documents before issuing to a client or
submitting to a public authority. It further states that the interior designer shall state in
each of the designer’s interior design documents that the document is not an
architectural or engineering drawing, specification, or design and is not to be used for
construction of any load-bearing column, load-bearing framing, or load-bearing wall or
structure. However, permit officials are still requiring that architect's sign and seal the
drawings. The Board discussed this and directed Janet Morgan to include an article in
the next newsletter regarding this issue.
REPORT ON THE JOINT CHAIRS MEETING
Ms. Edwards reported that the joint chairs met on October 23, 2013. It was
reported at the meeting that the special fund balance as of August 31, 2013 was
$66,870. Projections by the Acting Commissioner indicate that the fund may end the
fiscal year with a negative balance but it will be relatively insignificant and that
adjustments could be made. It was also reported that the firm permit bill for the
architects, land surveyors, and landscape architects was approved as part of the DLLR
legislative package and will be pre-filed.
PUBLIC HEARING
The public hearing giving the public the opportunity to present comments
regarding the increase of the license fee from $68 to $76.50 was opened at 2:25 p.m.
No one appeared to comment on the increase. The increase of fees was discussed by
the Board. Final action to adopt the increase will be taken at the January meeting.
Hearing was closed at 2:35 p.m.
OTHER BUSINESS
Record count of certificate holders
As of October 28, 2013, the number of currently certified interior designers is
