LAC 46:XLIII.1003. Firm Practice

A. Nothing shall prevent a licensed or registered interior designer licensed pursuant to the statute or regulations from associating with one or more interior designers, architects, professional engineers, landscape architects, surveyors, or other persons in a partnership, joint venture, or corporation. B. License numbers for interior designers in the State of Louisiana are assigned to individuals, not businesses. Only those to whom the number is issued may use that number on business cards or any printed materials, advertising, or signage of a firm. If someone in a firm is not yet licensed, that individual is never allowed to use the number of a licensed interior designer. Using someone else's number would be in violation of the law and would imply the number belongs to the person on the card. Doing so could be grounds for disciplinary action or fines by the state board. No number should appear on the business card of the person who is not yet licensed. If this person were questioned, he/she would provide the information of the licensee who is supervising their work.
