New CMI Qualification starting Jan. 1, 2008

A new qualification has been added to the list of CMI conditions and will go into
affect Jan. 1, 2008. This new condition of approval will be for all NEW applicants
only (it does not affect current CMI's).

Thank you for your patience, as the details of this change have been resolved, and it is
now time for the change. The new 3 year qualification will be good for consumers and
inspectors alike...IMHO.
