148th GENERAL ASSEMBLY

SENATE BILL NO. 80

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE BOARD OF HOME INSPECTORS.


BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:


Section 1. Amend Title 24, Chapter 41, Subchapter II of the Delaware Code by making additions as shown by underlining and deletions as shown by strike through as follows:

(a) An applicant, who is applying for licensure as a home inspector under this chapter, for the relevant license, shall submit evidence, verified by oath and satisfactory to the Board, that such person:

(8) Has provided evidence that the applicant or the applicant's employer has and will maintain liability and errors and omissions insurance in the form and minimum amount to be determined by the Board in its rules and regulations.


SYNOPSIS

This bill updates the Delaware Code relating to the Delaware Board of Home Inspectors by eliminating the qualification for licensure of obtaining and maintaining errors and omissions insurance.Maintenance of insurance is not a factor that indicates an individual is properly trained and qualified to perform home inspections; thus this bill will enable more applicants to become qualified for licensure based upon training, education and experience.
