*  Have a high school diploma or its equivalent;

*  Complete a course of study (approved by the department) of no less
than 120  hours that covers the following components: structure,

conditions that affect the structure; 

*  Maintain a commercial general liability insurance policy in an amount
not less than $300,000.
*  Apply to the department to take a licensure examination;

Grandfathering Clause:  A person who performs home inspection services
may qualify to be licensed if the person meets the licensure
requirements of this bill by July 1, 2010.


Continuing Education:  Licensees are required to obtain 14 hours of CE
every two years.
