Under a law passed in 2021, home inspectors must register with the secretary of state, pay a registration fee and provide proof of at least $250,000 of general liability insurance coverage before conducting a home inspection. The renewal of a home inspector’s registration is required every even-numbered year.
Gering Sen. Brian Hardin introduced LB342 at the request of the secretary of state’s office. Under the bill, home inspectors would be required to renew their registration every two years and would be given a 45-day window prior to the expiration to complete the renewal process.
The bill also increases from 30 to 45 the number of business days a home inspector has to report any changes to the secretary of state. Hardin indicated he would offer an amendment to change the window from 45 business days to 45 calendar days.
