When have you ever heard the "general public" being involved with or otherwise having anything to do with home inspection legislation? The "general public" could care less.

In fact, in the interest of the 'general public", last year the governor of Florida vetoed a home inspection law that had been pushed by home inspectors.

If the "general public" knew that increased inspection fees (although, they are seldom realized) and decreased competition is the driving force behind the majority of these efforts...they would be lobbying against every home inspection bill there is pending, and working to repeal the laws where they are presently in effect.

In fact, I plan to work closely with my own contacts with the media in my state to alert them to the fact that greed is what is behind an attempt at licensing and let the media launch their own crusade against it. It should be fun to watch.

James this is the truth the way I see it,
We have a self appointed group here In Canada who are trying to pull of this scam .

Many home inspectors can see thought it but they did manage to get some Government money from the previous Government.
They have lined up a large group of home Inspectors all from the Canadian Association This association is about 10% ± of the Canadian HIs
NACHI and the Independents make up 90 ±%.
I and others have tried to get information from This secret society and they refuse , their answer is trust us well I tried that and when I was a member found out that we ( The members ) could never find out how the Association
money was being spent.
