Not Certified in Kansas - Not on Their List

[Gary Farnsworth]

And now there is this. Kansas has no money. They should delay the implementation of the home inspection laws.

The board will have no money to operate, enforce or even pay for the secretary that they want to hire. I do not know how they are going to pay for their certified public accountant. There are simply too few inspectors in Kansas that are in business, or have the money to pay for fees, insurance, education, or other expenses. Who and how are the attorney fees being paid? Oh, I guess the attorney general's office does that for the board. Why?

Should work now. Thanks James.

Look guys.

State laws are state laws, and one must comply with them. Simple.

I wear my license card on my lapel, along with my NACHI card and my IRC cert cards. Anyone wants to see them, they are right there.

Private businesses, like RE agencies, have a right to protect themselves from lawsuits for referring non-law complient inspectors.

In Illinois, we have HI licenseing, but there is NO requirement to carry G/L or E&O insurance.

But, many agencies, before they will refer me, ask if I am insured (which I am) and some ask for copies of my insurance cert. They do this to protect their butts, and their clients.

And, it is tax deductable.

Just another cost of doing business.

If the state requires something, you are just P*ssing in the Wind by trying to pull some dang-fool "constitutional rights" junk.

People like that remind me of un-licensed roofers (which are required, in Illinois, to be state licensed) who say that they can do the roofing work (as handymen or "exterior contractors") and not be licensed.

Someone is always trying to rationalize (in completely irrational ways) their failings.

And, usually, these clowns do p*ss poor work.

Go figure.
