18VAC10-20-730 Competency for assignments

A. The professional shall must undertake to perform professional assignments only when qualified by education or experience, or both, and licensed or certified in the profession involved. Licensed professionals may perform assignments related to interior design, provided they do not hold themselves out the professional does represent himself  themself as certified in this the profession unless they are so the professional is certified by this the board. The professional may accept an assignment requiring education or experience outside of the field of the professional's competence, but only to the extent that services are restricted to those phases of the project in for which the professional is qualified. All other phases of such project shall must be the responsibility of licensed or certified associates, consultants, or employees.

Suggest modifying language to follow Section 18VAC10-20-730.  "He" has been removed from six (6) locations within the proposed regulations.  I agree with the previous comment to change "himself" to "themself".  Based on the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (online version), the use of "themself" in this situation appears appropriate.

Replace: “himself”   

With: “themself”
