This bill mandates that home inspectors in Kansas must be licensed and examined in the same manner as general contractors. It defines "home inspection" as a noninvasive visual examination of residential properties, outlining the systems and components that must be assessed. The bill stipulates that cities and counties requiring licensure for general contractors must also apply the same standards to home inspectors, including conducting examinations to determine competency. A minimum passing score of 75% is established, and successful candidates will receive a certificate of competency that allows them to obtain a license without further examination in other jurisdictions that require licensure.

Additionally, the bill requires that home inspectors obtain liability insurance coverage equivalent to that required for general contractors. It ensures that licenses issued based on successful examination will be recognized across different jurisdictions within the state. The legislation also provides an exemption for individuals who were registered prior to the expiration of the Kansas home inspectors professional competence and financial responsibility act, allowing them to practice without retaking the examination.
