LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 703, as amended,BurtonPerata .Interior designersMilitary base reuse . Existing law specifies a single local base reuse entity for certain specified military bases subject to closure pursuant to the federal Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act, and specifies a procedure for the recognition of a single local reuse entity for any military base that is closed in the state. Existing law requires that this entity be recognized as the planning authority for the base by all state agencies and provides that it is the only entity that is eligible for specified state benefits for use on the base. These provisions are repealed as of January 1, 2007. This bill would enact provisions that would govern the structure and composition of a single local base reuse entity and its governing body for a qualifying military base, as defined. These provisions also would be repealed on January 1, 2007.Existing law governing interior designers places certain restrictions contained in the Architects Practice Act on a certified interior designer's or other person's ability to submit interior design plans to local building officials. This bill would allow certified interior designers or other persons to submit interior design plans to local building officials without those existing restrictions.Vote: majority. Appropriation: no.
