ASID’s recent message to designers clarifying their position re: legislation may look like waving the white flag, but when you read between the lines, and fully understand the background, a very different story emerges, which makes it clear that the tiger has definitely not changed its stripes.

Posted in Interior Design Legislation Opposition, tagged asid, NCIDQ, licensing, certification, regulation, interior designer, interior design legislation, opposition, Florida, license, credentials, Interior Design, registration, legislation, interior design law, interior design regulation, practice act, deregulation, anti-competitive, Crist, Gaetz, Senate Select Committee on Florida's Economy on March 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Governor Crist has indicated that he is interested in deregulating professions that have been faltering under the burden of excessive and redundant governmental regulation which is stifling Floridians’ ability to earn a living, as well as hindering growth of the state’s economy.

We simply cannot allow this group to monopolize all the business in Indiana
