David,

What are you talking about? It's already a state law.

PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS
(225 ILCS 441/) Home Inspector License Act.


(225 ILCS 441/Art. 20 heading) ARTICLE 20. EDUCATION PROVISIONS


(225 ILCS 441/20‑5)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2012)
Sec. 20‑5. Education provider.
(a) Beginning January 1, 2002, only education providers licensed by OBRE may provide the pre‑license and continuing education courses required for licensure under this Act.

That would fufill the "or approved representative of a Local, State, Federal government agency" portion of the new rules.

That being said however, I don't understand the need for all the other conditions. If you can't teach CE's unless you're a licensed provider and you only need that to be eligible to teach under this new rule, it seems a bit silly to waste the time and ink to come up with the other rules. But hey, it's not my time or ink.

The southern IL guys can form 100 new chapters, won't change the law.

Ahh...you are correct.

Neglected to read into it as much as I should have.

I have my own ideas about why they were enacted.

I know I'd also be inclined to start a new chapter before I'd be willing to submit to these rules.

But, no one asked me and I am not a member of this chapter.
