AI Summary

This bill aims to establish requirements for the licensure of associate home inspectors in Massachusetts. It amends existing state law to define the criteria for obtaining an associate home inspector license, which includes demonstrating good moral character, completing high school or its equivalent, successfully completing a board-approved training program, passing a competency exam, and paying the required fee. The bill also specifies that the licensing board cannot require associate home inspectors to work under the supervision of a licensed home inspector without actually assigning one, and that any supervisor-related requirements can be waived if the assigned supervisor fails to fulfill their duties.
