Senate Bill 645, introduced by Oklahoma Senator Jay Paul Gumm, will, if enacted:
Increase the required pre-licensing education requirements from 50 to 90 clock hours;
Remove language exempting pre-licensing education requirements for various reasons;
Increase the yearly continuing education requirement from 5 to 8 hours.As a former state lobbyist, I am confident that Sen. Gumm's legislation will go through fairly easily. Although I haven't spoken with him, I have a feeling that the bill originated from the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board which recently took control of home inspector licensing and regulation.

Just FYI. Don't know how many fellow Okies visit this board, but I thought I'd pass it on anyway.
