Subject: SB 6229 is not going to be voted on this session.

*Dear Nick: *

Just a quick note to let you know this bill never made it out of it’s policy committee - it doesn’t look like it even had a hearing.

It will need to be reintroduced again in the 2007 session for it to be considered again. If you are still interested, you might want to work with the prime sponsor, Senator Harriet Spanel: spanel.harriet@leg.wa.gov; 360-786-7678

*I hope this information is helpful! *

*Sincerely,
*Mary Anne Ross
EXECUTIVE LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT

Nick,

It says the Bill needs to reintroduced in 2007 and if you’re interested please contact…

Is the Bill dead or is that what you are trying to do?

I’m glad you were able to put all those names to good use Nick! I felt like I’d hit the mother lode when I found all the names in one place! :slight_smile:

Woo Hoo!!! Awesome job Nick!!!

I feel MUCH better.

Erol:

Legislation only dies when there are No Parties to Fund the Fight or Opposition.

Like anything else, Follow the Money…

I think if anyone were interested it **would **have to be reintroduced, effectively stating that it is now dead.

If it ever does get reintrocuced, it won’t include any mention of a known diploma mill. We sent every Rep and Senator a copy of their no-requirements-necessary application: http://www.ashi.org/inspectors/join/candidate_application1.htm

One of the legislators above is having a blind relative join… won’t that be a publicity mess for ASHI inspectors!

:smiley:

This is great news!

that does not mean that we should set back for a year and sweat it again lets work on a counter bill and have it ready, one that is fair and reasonable for all.

This is not going to just go way and not come back lets pull together.

With that said great job Nick and anyone else that was involved in stooping this from happening. THANK You! :smiley:

Actually, Christine wrote all the letters. I wouldn’t want to be an ASHI inspector in Washington right now :o .

Than in That case I want to thank Christine for a job well done.

And to Wendy, for providing all that info to Nick / HQ!

Will, is that changed from the one that was posted earlier, do you know?

Anyone having printed info about how this was defeated, or reactions to it, please post a link or paste it in for us to read - thanks!

Hi Russ,

I think there is probably alot more to what happened with this bill than anything that was done just in the last week or so. I am sure there are conscientious people in ALL sectors that are concerned and want to make sure that legislation enacted in Washington State is fair and balanced for al involved.

Just went to the legislative web site and looked up the bill. This is what the have there.

I think there is also a house bill, sponsered by Larry Springer, that may be as bad ss the senate bill, He has never seen a money stream he didn’t like!! I know, he WAS mayor of Kirkland, Wa. Uped fees and anything he could tax!!!

Prentice one of the few state senators with a grasp on how intrusive state government is in this state. The battle mqay not be over!! Check Springers house bill!!!

I am personally grateful to anyone who is willing to work against HI licensing legislature. What I have discovered in my studies is that most bills are sponsored only to promote the National Home Inspector’s Exam and serve no other worthwhile purpose. Thanks goes out to everyone who diligently works to keep our profession free from government regulation which benefits only a select few who seek to control the market.

This thread is from last years proposed legislation that is dead. For information on the current 2008 legislation go to this thread.
