Home Inspector Interns
- (a) No more than two home inspector interns may be under the direct supervision of a licensed home inspector at any one site.
- (b) All home inspector interns shall maintain a record in the form of a home inspection log prior to beginning and until completion of their service contract with each supervising home inspector.
(c) A copy of the home inspection log maintained by the intern shall also be kept by the supervising home inspector and shall, at a minimum, include the following information for each inspection:
- (1) Client name;
- (2) address of the property inspected;
- (3) description of the areas inspected;
- (4) indication of whether the supervision was either direct or indirect in nature;
- (5) date of the inspection; and (6) supervisor’s initials and license number.
- (d) A home inspector intern shall complete all licensing requirements and apply for a home inspector license not later than four (4) years after issuance of a home inspector intern permit.
- (e) If a home inspector intern does not complete all licensing requirements and does not apply for a license not later than four (4) years after issuance of an intern permit, the individual’s home inspector intern permit shall be rendered inactive. If a home inspector intern, or former intern whose permit has expired, demonstrates evidence of a bona fide health or other individual hardship, the Board may grant an extension of the period that such home inspector intern or former intern has to complete all home inspection licensure requirements and apply for a home inspector license. A home inspector intern who held a permit prior to December 1, 2020, shall have until December 1, 2024, to submit a complete home inspector license application to the department. A home inspector intern who held a permit prior to December 1, 2020, and who wishes to seek a home inspector license but fails to submit a complete application by December 1, 2024, shall appear before the Board and show good cause for an exception to the requirement to apply for the license not later than four (4) years after permit issuance.
