New Interpretation of Home Inspectors Supervising Associates
At the recent NCHILB meeting held in Concord, NC March 27, 2008 in conjunction with the NCLHIA Annual Meeting and Education Conference the licensure board unanimously adopted a new interpretation of Home Inspectors Supervising Associates. To “actively supervise” an associate the supervising inspector will not be required to be in the presence of the associate home inspector throughout the training period. A new interpretation letter is expected to be posted on the NCHILB web site soon outlining this new interpretation.

NCHILB - Standard Report Format Committee Stalled
There was no report given to the NCHILB from the Standard Report Format Committee at the recent board meeting in Concord, NC. At the end of the NCHILB meeting during the public comment session, Sergi Worrell from NCLHIA asked for the status of the Standard Format Report. NCHILB Chairman, Gerald Canipe, responded with: ‘no report at this time’ (not sure of exact quote). NCLHIA members have been actively participating on the NCHILB Standard Report Format Committee and will continue to do so if and when the committee is reconvened.
