(a) - (e)(No change.)
[(f)An inspector who applies to renew
a license and pays the applicable fee, but who fails to complete any
continuing education required by the Act as a condition of license
renewal, shall be placed on inactive status by the Commission. The
inspector must comply with the requirements of this section in order
to return to active status.]
(f)[(g)] If a professional inspector
terminates the sponsorship of an apprentice inspector or real estate
inspector, the license of the apprentice inspector or real estate
inspector immediately becomes inactive.
(g)[(h)] Inactive inspectors
may not perform inspections. Performance of inspections while on inactive
status is grounds for disciplinary action against the inactive license
holder. A professional inspector who has been placed on inactive status
may not return to practice or sponsor apprentices or inspectors until
the professional inspector has met the requirements to be returned
to active status under this section. It is a violation of this section
and grounds for disciplinary action against a professional inspector
for the professional inspector to permit an inactive apprentice inspector
or an inactive real estate inspector to perform inspections in association
with, or on behalf of, the professional inspector.
The agency certifies that legal counsel has reviewed
the proposal and found it to be within the
state agency's legal authority
to adopt.
