On May 14, 2008 Governor Perdue vetoed House Bill 1217, ending the proposal of licensing private residential home inspectors. Thanks to all who supported HB1217. Public awareness has been raised, and more are learning the importance of using a qualified and nationally certified inspector.
The legislation process has highlighted the importance of professional organizations like ASHI and GAHI to insure high standards. Your continued support of ASHI and GAHI are appreciated. When obtaining an inspector for resale inspections, insure that the inspection is ASHI compliant, that the inspection is conducted by a professional nationally certified ASHI inspector. When new construction is built and sold, recommend an ICC code review from an GAHI certified inspector.
