Yes, but since Kansas is a right to work state, being forced to be a member of an “association”, or in most cases in Kansas, a union, was against current laws on the books when home inspection laws were in committee. They skirted the law by having ASHI members on the board, and in control. The KAR and Mr. Bell licked their chops on that one. IMHO, just having a registration program would be OK, and a good compromise. I also think all contractors and repair persons, agents, and home builders would be required to register, as they are all involved in the real estate transaction process.
I even presented this idea to Kansas Senator Brownlee at a hearing in 2008, but that is where it ended.
