It cost me $7,000.00 to get ASHI deleted from it.

That's nice, but...

Once there is a law, the process of amending it to accommodate a special interest is little more than a sentence or two added to another bill, discreetly, and sometimes without even a vote from the legislature.

For instance, in Kansas, the trial lawyers have quietly agreed to the real estate sales lobby to keep quiet until their bill becomes law. In the following session, in return, the RE lobby will support their push for mandatory E&O and a five year liability.

Enacting a bill and turning it into law is only the FIRST step of the process of putting home inspectors under the control of whatever special interest group it is pushing the bill.

The best way to keep ASHI out of control is to defeat the entire bill.

Has this bill been voted on yet by the GA general assembly?

Me. You'd die laughing if I told you who I hired to fix the legislation.

No, it's Tom Bauer.

Shannon Cory is ASHI's GA Pres I think. There is a PIC of him dancing on a table at http://www.nachi.org/vegas2007.htm

No. What is a done deal is that ASHI has been removed from the original legislation... it isn't law yet.
