AI Summary

This bill requires applicants for a Mississippi home inspector license, including those renewing their license, to undergo a fingerprint-based criminal history records check. The bill also specifies that the Mississippi Home Inspector License Commission must ensure applicants do not have a background that could call into question public trust, such as having a home inspector license revoked within the past five years or being convicted of certain felonies. The bill also amends existing laws to require the background check as part of the license application process and to allow the Commission to deny or revoke a license for failing to pass the background check.
