They need to come up with a workable Wind Mit inspection form that does not require the birth weight of the homeowner and the passenger list for the Titanic.

As I read it:

A contractor must have employed all inspectors, and not as subs. A contractor can not even use an employee leasing company as I see it. Any employee will have to have training/experience to do them. This is great for the little guy and is a swift kick to the big guy.

Home inspectors(state licensed) with 3 hours of training will be allowed to do them also.
