Home inspectors; authorize home inspections on new construction without having residential home builders license.

HB 484 allows licensed home inspectors in Mississippi to inspect new residential construction for a fee without needing a separate residential home builders license or certification from organizations like the Southern Building Code Congress. It directly affects licensed home inspectors who previously could not perform these inspections without additional credentials. The bill amends existing law to remove the requirement for a builder's license and specific certifications when conducting new construction inspections. This change takes effect July 1, 2025, streamlining the process for inspectors serving new home construction projects.
