Summary

The bill would make home inspectors subject to the same licensing exams, fees, and liability insurance requirements that apply to general contractors in any Kansas city or county that licenses contractors. Inspectors would need to pass a 75% exam and obtain a certificate that is recognized statewide. Those already registered under the previous home‑inspector act would be exempt.
