The bill amends Florida Statutes related to home inspectors, specifically sections 468.8313 and 468.8322. It requires that home inspector examinations meet certain standards certified by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, allowing for the approval of both national and state examinations that adhere to generally accepted testing criteria. Additionally, the bill mandates that home inspectors maintain an errors and omissions insurance policy, alongside a commercial general liability insurance policy, with a minimum coverage amount of $300,000 per policy.

Key changes include the insertion of requirements for national and state examination standards and the addition of the errors and omissions insurance policy requirement. The previous language regarding the approval of examinations by a nationally recognized entity has been removed, and the phrasing around the minimum insurance coverage has been updated for clarity. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
