Requires third-party home inspectors to identify building code standards in the home inspection report

HB 3089 requires third-party home inspectors in Missouri to identify the specific local building code standards used during an inspection and report whether the property meets those codes. The bill mandates that inspectors disclose any conflicts of interest (like ties to the property owner or seller) and include in their written report either a statement confirming no code deficiencies were found or a detailed list of any violations. This applies directly to home inspectors conducting inspections for compensation and affects homebuyers, sellers, and property owners who rely on these reports. The key change is making inspection reports more transparent by specifying the exact building codes evaluated, rather than providing general observations.
