That would have only happened if the Governor had signed the bill which would have made everyone equal, without licensing it will be difficult if not impossible to double the number of inspectors because there is no way for that many inspectors to establish themselves in such a short amount of time without government tampering with our profession.

Remember in not one case did a state ever raise the bar to even the minimum paltry ASHI standards. Backing state licensing will guarantee that your competition will at least double and in some cases like New York State, you will see the average price for a home inspection cut in half.

It is always a noble endeavor to reject the socialization of our profession, licensing solves nothing. Let me put it another way those who support home inspector licensing get what they deserve.
