Just got an e-mail from someone wanting to be sponsored so they can get their license. They completed the 448 hour education only method, then TREC passed a new law on an emergency basis- HB 1530. Effective September 1st 2007 an applicant has to have 448 hours PLUS 7 year's construction experience for each system inspected. This effectively wipes out the fast track program, forcing most if not all to be sponsored. How many people have 7 year's experience in every system of a home? I'm considering sponsoring the lad. Any advice on pros and cons of sponsoring (i.e. liability risks) , plus what I should ask for as reasonable compensation for my time?
