Bill > HB115

This bill amends the Home Inspector Licensing Act in New Mexico to change the requirements for the approved licensing examination. The key provisions include: 1) Defining an "approved examination" as a national home inspector licensing examination that has been accredited and assesses the applicant's knowledge across various areas of home inspection. 2) Giving the New Mexico Home Inspectors Board the authority to adopt the approved examination, which may be administered by a nationally accepted testing service and must comply with federal Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations. 3) Revising the licensure requirements for home inspectors to include passing the approved examination and any additional New Mexico-specific licensing exams prescribed by the Board. 4) Providing an exception to the classroom and field training requirements for applicants who have worked as home inspectors and performed a certain number of home inspections in the 24 months prior to the effective date of the Act. The bill sets an effective date of July 1, 2023 for these provisions.
