The New York State Association Of Home Inspectors

	New York State Association of Home Inspectors The Voice Of The Home Inspection Profession In The Empire State
	Welcome to NYSAHI.com The mission of the New York State Association of Home Inspectors, Inc. is to promote the interests of its members and the home inspection profession in New York State with respect to regulation affecting the practice of home inspections. Membership in NYSAHI is open to all home inspectors in our state. The New York State Association Of Home Inspectors (NYSAHI) provides this site as a tool to help New York State Home Inspectors stay current with the changing face of home inspector regulation in our state. GOVERNOR VETOES WATER BILL Our lobbyist, Jim McCulley, reports that Governor Paterson has vetoed the Well Water Education Act. NYSAHI came out in opposition to this bill and many NYSAHI members answered the call to write to the Governor asking for a veto. This bill had the potential to harm our profession by restricting inspectors from drawing water samples at homes for sale. In his veto message, the Governor stated budgetary pressures and redundancy in his opposition to the bill. He noted that the Department of Health already has private well information on its website that is available for anyone concerned. I would like to thank all of the inspectors who took the time to contact the Governor. Jim McCulley tells us that most bills like this go through without any significant comment from the public, so that when the Governor receives 80 emails or more, notice is taken. The legislative season has ended for this year, but next January we will once again be busy monitoring on your behalf in Albany. Thanks for your support, Gregg Gregg Harwood, NYSAHI President 2008-09 Home inspectors are encouraged to use the links on this page to educate themselves about home inspector licensing in our state to help in preparing for, and prospering in, this new regulated environment. I suggest that you start by following this link to a PDF file that explores the home inspectors responsibilities under our license law. Please check back often. Gregg Harwood, NYSAHI President, 2008-09
