Bill Summary
By Mr. Hunt of Sandwich (by request), a petition of Ralph M. Crossen regulating complaints from clients against home inspectors. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate complaints from clients against home inspectors. It requires that in the case of a complaint, the client must agree to a second inspection by a new inspector chosen by the original inspector before any repairs are made, or else the client will be barred from future legal action. Additionally, the client must initially file a license complaint with the board of licensure, and if the board does not find the inspector in violation of any standards, the client is barred from later seeking legal action. If the board does find fault against the home inspector, the client may only pursue legal action based on those findings.
