Guys, like it or not, the Governor signed the bill into law August 18. The advisory board, being against the changes, has so far not created any new paperwork for licensure. The law clearly states that anyone qualifying can apply for full licensure during the first 180 days after the bill is signed. However, without the cooperation of the advisory board, another road block has been erected for those who now qualify under the new rules.

Opinion please ...... say in a state requiring a so-called "apprenticeship" where an associate inspector has to work for a "licensed Inspector" for a certain amount of inspections, where the licensed inspector is simply responsible for the accuracy of the report, ie: dotting i's and crossing t's. Is it legal for the associate to have his/her own company and have the company hire a licensed inspector to do the report checking? The associate would provide his/her own insurance. The associate and the licensed inspector would both be employees of the company. The company would pay the licensed inspector a per inspection fee of about 40-50 dollars. A licensed inspector could pick up an extra 10,000 this way. Opinions please, thanks
