S.B. No. 627 will only hurt Home Purchasers
 

This bill is trying to make Home Inspectors responsible for anything found wrong with the home when Home Inspectors only do a visual inspection. If a Home Inspector does not report something there are already means to make them liable through the court of law. This bill is trying to make Home Inspectors responsible for all issues. This will only cause a negative domino effect. Ending with less Home Inspectors and much higher rates but the need for a Home Inspector will not change. I am strongly against this bill.
