Please attend the hearing for Maryland SB 1168 on March 17th in Annapolis. This proposed practice act would be the most restrictive in the nation, allowing only 325 designers to continue to work – and there will be *no* grandfathering of those who are not already certified!

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. Both the Governor’s office and Senator Gaetz are seeking real life examples of how the current anti-consumer, anti-competitive practice law has negatively impacted your ability to market yourself and/or how it has restricted you from practicing to the full scope of your abilities and caused you to turn down business that you would otherwise be able to perform.
Florida deregulation will restore your right to practice!
