Registration Home Inspectors

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

Senate Bill 17-038, now signed into law, requires home inspectors in Colorado to register with the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) before they can work. This means that anyone who wants to be a home inspector must first get approval from DORA. The law also includes a review after five years to see if these regulations are necessary and effective. This affects all home inspectors and people looking to hire them, as it ensures a level of oversight and quality control in the inspection process.

Official Summary

Under current law, home inspectors are not subject to regulation by any state agency. Section 1 of the bill makes it unlawful for a person to act as a home inspector without first registering with the department of regulatory agencies (DORA). Section 2 requires a review of the board's duties and functions in registering home inspectors after 5 years under the existing sunset laws. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
