AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate home inspectors in Massachusetts. It makes the following key changes: 1. Defines a "Supervisor" as a licensed home inspector who is approved by the board to oversee and supervise the training of an associate home inspector or trainee. 2. Allows individuals to qualify for a home inspector license if they hold current certification from the American Society of Home Inspectors or the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, in addition to supervision by a licensed home inspector. 3. Requires the board to assign a specific licensed home inspector to serve as a supervisor, and waives any requirements that cannot be satisfied due to the supervisor's failure to act as such. 4. Modifies the experience requirement for a home inspector license, allowing up to 10 of the required 25 inspections to be "mock inspections" conducted with an approved provider, with the remaining 15 required to be performed in the presence of a licensed home inspector.
