To whom it may concern:

I am General Counsel to the National Association of Certified Home
Inspectors ("NACHI"). I understand that New York State is
contemplating
requiring Home Inspectors to be licensed by the state and that
individuals entering the home inspection industry after January 1, 2006
will have to undergo 100 hours of instruction in order to be licensed.

Are there currently any schools licensed by the New York to provide
this instruction? If so, please identify them.

On behalf of the NACHI membership, as well as myself, I thank for your
attention to this matter.

Very truly yours.
