[Scott Keiper]

I was recently notified by my local county that my occupational license will not be renewed with out my state license. I notified my local representative and this was his response.

Dear Mr. Keiper:
Thank you for your patience in hearing back from my office. I have received information from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation regarding your issue. I have been informed by DBPR that a state license is not issued for home inspectors at this time. There is a law requiring issuance of a home inspector license that goes into effect June 1, 2010.
However, at this point, the Legislature has not funded this new licensing category, and it will possibly be repealed due to the budget shortfall.
It is my hope this information will be helpful to you. Please call upon me if I may be of further assistance.
Representative William D. Snyder - District 82 2400 S. Federal Hwy., Suite 250 Stuart, FL 34994
(772)221-4904
(772)221-4906 fax
Please note: Florida has a very broad public records law. Most written communications to or from state officials regarding state business are public records available to the public and media upon request. Your e-mail communications may therefore be subject to public disclosure.

It sounds like your county personnel is misinformed.

Hey Scott,

Thanks for posting the good news! To me the best thing would be for the bill to rot in bill purgatory never seeing the light of day and preventing any new bills from being introduced, but repeal is a great 2nd choice.

[Scott Keiper]

I agree

I'll drink to that.

I'm going out and getting plastered.
And I don't drink.

Isn't ironic that the original bill had nothing to do with home inspectors. Senator Wise who introduced the bill did so because a home hos mother purchased has a defective appliance that he felt was the inspector's fault.

And if the bill was to be repealed... It is because of the fiscal crisis and the lack of funding, it is almost like we don't exist or show up on anyone's radar. Home inspectors = Mr. Cellophane.
