This bill amends the Louisiana State Board of Home Inspectors' membership structure and qualifications. It changes the appointment process for board members, allowing any active home inspector licensed in the state to submit names of qualified candidates to the governor, rather than relying on a list from specific organizations. The qualifications for candidates include holding a license for at least three years, not having any violations of board rules or licensing law in the past three years, and being in good standing with the board. Additionally, all board members must be U.S. citizens, state residents, and have been actively engaged in the home inspection business for at least three years prior to their appointment.

The bill also revises the term limits for board members. Each member will now serve a four-year term, with a maximum of two terms allowed, whether consecutive or non-consecutive. A formal nomination is required for reappointment to a second consecutive term. Members whose terms have ended may continue to serve until a replacement is appointed, and this interim service does not count toward the term limits. The bill ensures that any vacancies due to death, resignation, or disability will be filled by the governor from the congressional district where the vacancy occurred.
