Mr Bushart is right. Some counties have licensing - MOST DON'T.

No argument out of me. But will anyone disagree or agree that the State of Missouiri stipulates that if a electrical license is mandated by a local jurisdiction that they must follow it?

In essence they have passed the states responsibility and authority to the local jurisdiction. Let me see if I can find the exact code again...

So are you saying the home inspector licensing should be left to the local authorities?

Although Mr. Bowman was never licensed to inspect in his own state, he is a proponent for licensing in other states.

What he has stated is that, because Missouri leaves it to the local governments to decide what codes, if any, to enforce and leaves it to the local governments to decide what contractors, if any, to license....that I made a "misleading" statement when I said that Missouri does not license contractors.

It's a "bowman-like" argument that, by definition, ignores relevant facts and focuses on trivial "what-ifs". You'll see what I mean if he chooses to continue his argument.

Missouri does not license contractors. So, end of argument.
