Licensing for the sake of licensing and gathering funds for the state and providing jobs to favored sons/daughters should not be the end game as it is so many time. If a good process and procedure is put in place to assure quality training and testing and allow new inspectors to get into the business and make a decent living then I don't see an issue. It will just be another fee I have to pay each year to do business without a return on investment. I sure hope there are a few qualified home inspectors allowed to represent the inspectors instead of politicians and real estate representatives that do not know the inspection side. Also, I would hope that everyone would expect the cost of inspections to rise to cover additional costs. It will all depend on how it ends up.

But great post - I like reading the detail you provide. No reason to look anywhere else!
