Department of Business and Professional Regulation Hosts Mold and Home Inspector Stakeholder Meetings to Obtain Industry Input
September 24, 2009
TALLAHASSEE—In preparation for the July 1, 2010 implementation date for the state licensure and regulation of mold and home inspectors, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation has scheduled statewide stakeholder meetings to facilitate discussion and obtain industry feedback. In 2007, Governor Charlie Crist signed Senate Bill 2234, which included provisions for state licensure and regulation of individuals offering mold-related services and home inspectors.
The meetings will focus on the requirements in the new law and how the department will license and regulate individuals offering mold-related services and home inspectors. Topics will include grandfathering provisions, requirements for criminal history background checks and licensure examinations. The department has established Web sites for home inspectors and mold-related services, where stakeholders can find more information about the law and upcoming meetings.
Scheduled stakeholder meetings are as follows:
