This is in reqards to the above proposed VA licensed home inspector regulations changes to allow a language for an unlimited liability claims against the inspectors. I am strongly against this type of allowance. I believe there are many inspectors who will leave the insdustry due to higher insurance premiums, creating a shortage of professionals who perform the vital part of the realestate transaction process for the home buyers. The state license required liability insurance currently in place is adequate. In my 23 years of experience as a licensed and certified professional home inspector in Virginia and Maryland, I believe the current level of HI license requirements to be adequate and will serve the home buying publics interests well. We do not need to burden the industry professionals further.

Sincerely,
