E & O is an issue, and how do you perform 100 fee paid inspections if you aren’t licensed? Have to be an associate inspector for one year! Sounds like more mentoring. If so, I would fight it.

Gerry: We just hired an investigator who will be working on this program. A meting of the Boards sub-committee is schedule in the AM Thursday 1/15/2004 and hopefully this will start the ball rolling to get a public hearing scheduled. Will update our web site as soon as more information is available.
I will keep a check on their progress and update this string as needed.
