FedPac Advisory - GONE !

       The Kentucky Board of Home Inspectors (KBHI) bit the bullet at its November meeting.
        Its notorious Federal Pacific Electric Co. "Advisory Bulletin" bit the dust.  It is no more.  Good riddance!
        In fact, all the "advisory bulletins" were "trashed, ...done away with" as vice-chairman Mike Patton put it during the meeting.
        The vote to rescind all the "Advisory Bulletins" was unanimous.
         "Basically there will be no more advisory bulletins," Patton said.  The decision was overdue.
        The Board administrator will remove them from the KBHI web site.  (Only one other advisory bulletin was  approved, in February, 2009.  It was an eager beaver bulletin trying to mandate a contract clause for home inspector contracts based on KRS Chapter 411.  The Board, obviously, has no legal authority to interpret or administer anything in KRS Chapter 411 - or any other part of Kentucky law outside KRS 198B.700-738.  And disciplining an inspector over such a thing was out of the question).
        Rest in Peace. Fini.  Over and done.  Now you can call 'em as you see 'em.
        The unlawful "reprimand" of a hard-working inspector who supposedly broke the FedPac "advisory" was rescinded earlier.  We nicknamed him "Ricardo" in our newsletter on the "reprimand."  His "thank you" note was among the largest mail responses Professional Learning Institute ("PLI") ever enjoyed for our newsletters.  (A representative sampling is reprinted in our "Readers Reply" column below right.)
        Several inspectors writing in made a good point.  When push came to shove, Ricardo was hanging out there alone, twisting slowly in the wind.
        Only PLI stood up for him and said he did his job.  Only PLI said the Board broke the law, not the inspector.
        No national association helped the guy.  The so-called Kentucky "association" went mum.  In fact, the KBHI board member who moved to "reprimand" Ricardo based on the unlawful "advisory bulletin" actually was a director and former President of KREIA!  The truth is that neither KREIA nor even one of the national associations has ever supported an inspector in trouble at the KBHI, or told the KBHI it was making a mistake.  Not one.  Ever.
        Not one of them even backed PLI after it stood up for Ricardo and explained where the Board went wrong, or sent out our carefully detailed newsletter explaining the situation.  (KREIA asked for, and received, permission to reprint the newsletter free, but if it actually did, it never sent us the promised reprint copy.)
        Call that your dues dollars at work.  Those "associations" charge "dues," for somethin'.  PLI charges no "dues" -- never has, never will.  Maybe it's worth asking exactly where those dues dollars are going, if it's not "inspectors helping inspectors" and they won't drop a dime when a dues-paying "member" is put upon.  If you find out, drop us an email.  We'll pass it along.  It was expensive and time consuming for PLI, not to mention Ricardo, to cope with the Fed Pac "reprimand" problem.  But we did.  We didn't have to, but it was the right thing to do.  So we did, free of charge, free of "dues."
        Still, from day one, PLI always contributed what it could to help the profession and the Board.  (We do not want PLI staff to be on the Board, since it would be an unethical conflict to regulate our own courses and such.)  PLI  is the first and only CE Provider the KBHI "recognized and thanked" (Aug. 11, 2009 Minutes) for donating class materials for the Board's use.  And everybody knows PLI's Steve Keeney, the inspector and attorney who teaches PLI's Law & Regulation courses, is the only Law & Regs instructor who attends every KBHI meeting.  Check the KBHI's minutes (bhi.ky.gov) to see the last time any other Law & Reg instructor was there.  If you're not there, you can't know first-hand or help.
The Apologies
        To its credit, the KBHI owned up to its "advisory bulletin" mess.
        It did not have to.
        "Are you saying take them away because they were illegal to start with?" outgoing Board member Bill Welty asked at the meeting.
        "Basically yes," Chairman Green answered.  You got the feeling Mr. Welty wanted it said out loud at the November meeting.
        Still, no one had to admit they were wrong and PLI was right when it called the action illegal all along.  They could have just buttoned their lips and wiped the slate clean without a word of explanation.  (The one thing it could not do was discipline another inspector on an "advisory bulletin.")
        Chairman Green also apologized to the Board earlier, and a group of home inspectors at an October CE seminar, for a number of the Board's other illegal activities, even before the "advisory bulletins" were "trashed."
        He didn't have to do that either.  But our hat's off to the man.
        Those October apologies came out of the board's illegal ethics "investigation" of its own members who were also KREIA leaders - the same board members who voted for the FedPac "reprimand."  When the board hid it in secret meetings, Steve gave them a heads-up that was unlawful.  The board did it anyway.  Finally, the Attorney General issued a written ruling that each and every point PLI raised about the illegal actions was correct.  The board had violated around a dozen of those open meeting law rules too.  (The board never went back to do a for-real investigation and get it right.  Instead, it shifted investigating ethics to the Executive Branch Ethics Commission.  That's another step in the right direction.  No matter how straight up anyone is, investigating yourself never passes the smell test.)
        The apologies were the right thing to do.  Not the easy thing, but the right thing.  PLI does not take sides; it neither supports nor opposes any causes.  It does not matter whether the Board's right or the inspector is right or someone else is right.  All PLI cares about is what's right.  We don't support or oppose Chairman Green (or any other Board member), but when he's right, he right.
        When the Board gets it right, we've consistently been the first to say so.  In fact, this PLI newsletter has reported KBHI actions longer than anyone anywhere - and every inspector gets it free for the asking.  (PLI alums also get a special second bulletin with more info.)
        With the intestinal fortitude it takes to publicly apologize to the KBHI and to a gathering of home inspectors, Chairman Green surely did the right thing.
        What counts, of course, from now on, is walking  the walk, not just talking the talk.  We're rooting for him, and all of 'em - and we'll be there to help with our dos pesos worth.
        When you've been teaching this as long as PLI and its faculty, it's not the first time you've seen a spankin' new, green board goof up.  And, you guessed it, nobody has been teaching this stuff longer than PLI in Kentucky.
        Maybe this growing experience will lead the Board now to be a little less self-righteous and a little more understanding of inspectors who work hard but trip over some technicality.

This Is How Boards Grow and Mature
        Really, all this is just part of the natural evolution of rookie boards growing into seasoned, skilled boards.  Every new board matures and develops in each licensing board state, as Texas and Connecticut did starting years earlier.  Like our kids, when they're young, boards think they know it all.  As they mature, they learn how much they have to learn - about everything, from being a state agency, to licensing, to pontificating, and even to budgeting.  (Believe it or not, the KBHI never even had a budget, and now barely has a draft!  But it had about $180,000 of your money sitting around looking for something to do.)  Growth does not have to be this hard, or involve serial law-breaking, though.  Boards avoid mistakes by learning to tap what other older boards learned, like their state Real Estate Commission and finance boards and home inspector licensing boards in other states.  That hasn't really started happening here yet.  But we're really looking forward to it.
        Boards also start protecting the public by getting serious about protecting home inspector licenses.  They stop trying to interpret other license laws and start doing what they're good at - enforcing their own license.  All those reports that look like and act like home inspection reports, but get churned out by cheap, unlicensed writers, get checked to see if a home inspection license is required.  There are plenty.  HUD, FHA and the Kentucky Housing Finance Authority, as examples, all use long reports that look like and quack like home inspection reports - but are not done by licensed home inspectors.  Home buyers get the idea they really are home inspection reports, so they never get their home inspected, often with sad consequences.  The KBHI took a look at a HUD one in May, and a Kentucky Housing Corporation Assessment Form way back in Oct., 2006.  Both times, the Board decided they sure looked like a home inspection report; normal people probably got misled into thinking so, even though it was cranked out by unlicensed writers; and ... then did nothing.  It's a problem with which every board sooner or later has to come to grips.
        Mature boards also protect the integrity of their own processes, like making sure inspectors get their money's worth (whether the money is called tuition, dues, membership or anything else) for their CE courses, instead of just clocking time.  Green board excuses about wanting "choice" gets a new chapter - choice is good, for the public and the profession, only if you actually learn something.  They weed out junk "distance learning" CE courses that are basically fake, "pay your money and get your credit" courses.  Accredited online courses take their place, as they have at the mature Kentucky Real Estate Commission, the U.S. Department of Education and most businesses.  This board is clueless there still.  Mature boards build disciplinary systems designed to protect all parties and hold everyone involved accountable, including themselves, first by operating like courts, in public for all to see, and publishing full accounts of cases to guide the public and the profession.  This board does not even have a disciplinary procedure beyond "we'll take a complaint and if you don't like the decision you can appeal."  Seriously.  No right to be heard, no complainant notice of a defense or chance to reply, no right to have a lawyer or a witnesses.  Nothing.  This too will come.  This board is trying to work on it, but in a vacuum.  It still has no clue what other home inspector boards do, what's worked or not, and why.
        That's why it's so important for inspectors and the public to speak up, help and participate, no matter how much it seems a waste of time sometimes.   
        That's when things really get better.  More mature home inspection boards start joint projects with realtor boards, mortgage finance boards, and public housing agencies to better inform and protect the public.  They do things like co-authored brochures explaining why home inspections are important to buyers and sellers.  They write rules to make sure the public get the same, straight message about the need for home inspections, and to boost public awareness.  They start looking for public input and ideas instead of resenting them.  They make sure the public really gets a genuine home inspection report when they think they are.  They set up funds to protect the public from abuses.  They get unlicensed fly-by-nights off the streets.  They stop trying to beat up their own licensees or competitors.  They start learning from other boards' mistakes.  It only gets better from there.  Here's hoping this opens the board to the next steps  ahead.
        Admitting mistakes is the first step toward making amends and doing the next right thing.  That's how boards mature and get it right.
That's Over! But is it The End?
     So ends the sorry tale of "advisory bulletins" confusing the public and rigging land mines for Kentucky inspectors to trip over.  (The trip wire in the FedPac "advisory" was the word "removal."  Inspectors supposedly were not to say that "kryptonite" word when they saw a FedPac, despite KRS 198B700(6)(b), which requires inspectors to "recommend" clients "repair" or monitor  deficiencies.  The "advisory bulletin" admonished inspectors to tell clients some facts about FedPac breakers, but be afraid to use the radioactive word "remove," a word the Board claimed "only" licensed electricians could say.)  It was a misadventure best put behind us.   Now it is.
     That leaves only one possible land mine word still hanging around - the word "termites."

     We hope it won't gnaw its way into the progress the KBHI has made at last.  The KBHI has no more legal authority to interpret or administer another board's licensing statute, such as the pest control statute, than it had to interpret KRS Chapter 411.  The idea that only a licensed pest control operator can utter the word "termite" is as silly and baseless as the idea that only an electrician can say a FedPac panel should be repaired or "removed."  Your neighbor is free to say either word; so are you.  That's the small, minor detail called "free speech" that protects every American's right to express his opinions.  Absolutely no license is required to name a bug when you see one.
     But now the word has become an issue in a lawsuit against a Kentucky home inspector.  (As you might expect, PLI is helping the inspector's defense.  The inspector did a good job, just as Ricardo did.  And, you guessed it, no "dues" collecting "association" has pitched in to help that inspector, either - again.)

     Chances are good that the court will decide the termite question in the months ahead.  PLI will keep you posted.  And we'll do our level best to help it turn out right.
     Meanwhile, we hope the KBHI will start to tune in too.  For years, PLI has urged the board to stay on top of Kentucky court cases and survey laws in other licensing states at least annually.  But it never has.  The KBHI would not have to start from scratch every single time, and  keep reinventing wheels, if it just made an effort to keep posted, at least on Kentucky cases, and better yet on the laws and cases involving home inspectors in all 30+ licensing states.
     The Board has a new lawyer now.  Maybe the time has come that it will put its lawyer to work keeping it on top of inspection law where the rubber hits the road.

     We're looking forward to 2010!
Indiana Panel Pushes End to Home Inspector Licensing
 

PLI Was There 4U
 
     The Home Inspectors licensing board in Indian may be erased, under a late September proposal from Indiana's Professional Licensing Agency ("IPLA").
     Elimination of another eight licensing boards also was proposed by the IPLA.
     Indiana legislators heard testimony on the proposal at an October 15 hearing of the joint Senate-House Professional Licensing Study Committee in Indianapolis.
     Professional Learning Institute ("PLI") was there for you.
     No other Kentucky-based Law & Regulation CE provider showed up.  KREIA was not seen, or heard.     
     PLI's Dean, Steve Keeney, our Law & Regulations Instructor, was invited to speak at the hearing by Chairwoman Rep. Peggy Welch.  Rep. Welch helped lead passage of Indian's original home inspector licensing law in.
     "If adopted, the proposal would make Indiana stand alone in stripping protection from home buyers at a time when virtually every state and federal agency in the nation is scrambling to ramp up protections," Steve began in his testimony for the panel.
     The low number of complaints against home inspectors cited in the IPLA report should not be considered a sign of failure, as the report claimed, Keeney said.  No legislator on the panel would conclude they were failing if they had very few complaints.
     The real failure of home inspector licensing boards, in Indiana as in Kentucky, has been the boards' failure to take a single unlicensed, fly-by-night inspector off the streets in the half decade since each state installed licensing, Steve continued.
     That's mainly because they simply do not know how, and partly because the legislatures have not given the boards easy tools to do the job.  Still, protecting the public from unqualified and unlicensed home inspectors is a job only government can do, Steve said.  It still needs to be done, in Indiana as in Kentucky.  That public protection mission was and is a key goal of licensing.
     The IPLA's proposal to put home inspector discipline in the hands of NAHI or ASHI made a little sense on the surface, but would not work, he added.  It's not their mission in life.   The truth is that those groups survive mainly on member dues money, which makes them unlikely to kill a dues-paying goose.  They also are unaccountable, have no history of disciplining inspectors, and have no power to protect the public by taking incompetent inspectors off the streets.  Public protection is a governmental job.
     A Indiana ASHI chapter head and former KBHI chairman Ralph Wirth, on behalf of NAHI, also testified before the committee.
PLI will keep you posted - as always.

LonnieCombs
Lonnie & His Peppermills
Peppermills
Alum of the Month

  PLI is so proud of its alums sometimes it feels like our shirt buttons will pop!
   PLI has helped over 200 Kentucky inspectors learn and advance - not to mention all the others in other states.  Among them there are recording artists, craftsmen in practically every medium, car jockeys who wrench another dozen horses out of engines, veterans of practically every construction trade, and much, much more.
  Today, we begin a regular feature to help you meet your fellow inspectors.  We bet just a glimpse of all we do will inspire us all!
 
Meet Lonnie Combs, licensed home inspector in Louisville, PLI alum, craftsman, retired master cabinet maker and furniture maker, and present master woodturner.
He turns out hand-turned pepper mills suitable for framing, and great for the table too!
  They're mixes of walnut, birch, boxwood, cherry, banksia pod, and fiddle maple in a gallery of over 40 different styles.  Some have cherry or beech inlays on top.
He signs each unique piece on the bottom above its production number.  Just like any other work of art.
  He also creates wood sculptures, vases, hollow forms and food safe bowls.  Just visit his home for an eye full.
   He shows and sells his work only at fine arts/crafts galleries and "juried" fine art shows.  Artists at juried shows have to be picked by "juries" of other talented artists; they can't just rent show space.  His work is so outstanding, he's even received "jury exempt" invitations, the highest honor at these shows, to standouts like the Lincoln Center Craft Festival, New York City and the Nassau Museum of Arts Craft Festival, Long Island, NY.  He was invited by the Kentucky Arts Council to show his work at the Ryder Cup national golf tournament in Louisville last year.  He exhibited at the Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts Christmas Show for the last two years.  His work also is on display at the Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts.
  You can see (and buy) his pieces at "Christmas in Anchorage," Dec. 5 at the Anchorage School, Anchorage, KY, and the Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts "Holidazzle 2009," 715 Main St., Louisville, now through Dec. 23.
  There's still time to order Lonnie's hand-turned peppermills at his web site, www.topchefpepper
mills.com.
   They're not cheap, but neither are handmade clothes or cars -- or art!

Our issue on the KBHI's Federal Pacific "reprimand" kicked open something to the left of a Pandora's Box and the right of a hornet's nest.
      So much mail poured in that our service told us it was too much to send you all.  So this month's mail is trimmed down to a "representative sampling," with three exceptions: (1) There was only one critical mail, from Ray, a fine, veteran inspector who helped write the FPE "Advisory Bulletin," so 100% of the criticism is included here.
      (2) We also got a "thank you" note from "Ricardo," the inspector who got reprimanded for doing his job.  Even though the KBHI dragged his name through its muck in its meeting minutes, we won't.  So he's still "Ricardo" here - name changed to protect the innocent. And (3) We ran out of room for mail from out of state.  (Quick summary: They think the issue is like arguing over whether a travel agent can say you'll be flying a bi-plane on your next trip, as one put it.  Another suggested we test the indoor air quality in the board's meeting room.  One asked if I wasn't worried they'd take a shot at me next.)
     Otherwise, we just picked mail with popular themes.  Oh, by the way, the initials after each letter are coded, also to protect the innocent.

      More permissions to republish the" FEP Reprimand" newsletter were granted than for any prior article or newsletter.  Even "KREIA" asked for permission, which we gave for free.  
     PLI routinely gives permission to reprint its copyrighted articles at no charge, provided permission is obtained in advance and a copy of the reprint is provided to us.  So feel free to ask anytime.  Some inspectors use PLI articles in their business and marketing.  You're welcome to.
      But make no mistake: This is progress, but this isn't over yet.
      So here's mail call.  Keep the cards, letters, and email comin'!   


"Thank you for your support and backing on my board issue. If it wasn't for your backing and informative newsletters more inspectors would be "thrown to the wolves". Your classes that I have attended have also been very beneficial to me as well. We need more qualified people like you to help us with our business issues.  Thanks again."
   - Ricardo,
    the Ex-"Reprimanded"

"Thank you for the latest newsletter. It was very informative and a learning experience in itself. Keep'um coming.  Great work on your part." 
   - M.L.
 
"Thanks a million for your issue on FPE. I am going to forward this to my State Senator and Representative to see if they believe the KBHI is usurping legislative prerogative. Your time and effort to keep us informed is both admired and appreciated."
  -M.H.

"Great to see the passion for our profession in your Federal Pacific Reprimand issue.  I'd like to think the Board of Home Inspectors had more backbone to stand up to other boards.  It's performance is a little disappointing."
  - X. T.

"STEVE, THIS STARTED WHEN INSPECTORS WERE REPORTING THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS A FEDERAL PACIFIC PANEL INSTALLED THAT IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD IN AND OF ITSELF WITH NO VISIBLE PROBLEMS. THE STATE ELECTRICAL BOARD WAS CONSULTED WITH AND THE CHIEF ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR AUTHORIZES THE BULLETIN. STEVE, OUR SOPS CALL FOR US TO VISUALLY INSPECT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND NOTE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM (OTHER THAN THAT IT IS A FEDERAL PACIFIC) AND REFER TO THE LICENSED ELECTRICIAN TO EVALUATE THE PROBLEM. IF THE LICENSED ELECTRICIAN DEEMS IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED IT IS UNDER HIS LICENSES THAT GRANTS HIM THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO. THE HOME INSPECTOR DOES NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO RECOMMEND REMOVAL/REPLACE THE PANEL, PERIOD."
            - R.S.
 
            - Steve's Comment:  R.S.'s email reminds us how important it is to respect each others' professional opinion.  "Professional opinion" is at the heart of Kentucky's home inspection law (KRS 198B.700(5), (6)(a)) and our practice.  I know, like, and respect R.S.  He's an experienced, skilled home inspector with a lot of homes and years under his belt.  I lost count of all of R.S.'s old "calling card" "Smiley face" stickers I found on ductwork in our market. R.S. also was involved in drafting the FPE Advisory Bulletin, 07-001.
     Reasonable inspectors can reasonably hold different opinions.  So the first thing I'd say is "This is a conversation we should have had before the Fed Pac advisory came out, instead of after."  But that's water under the bridge.  Now that we're talking, it's great to have a pro like R.S. in the conversation.
 
"You're a real asset to our profession.  Your FPE newsletter is just the latest example.  I know how much you helped win my case too.  You can bet my tuition and contract review money will keep supporting PLI.  You deserve it, your CE is tops and you support us.  No other provider ever did anywhere near as much to help home inspectors as you do.  Thanks.
    - C.F

Steve's comment: Thanks, C.F.!  Everyone here really believes home inspectors help  make our world a little bit better place than we found it.  Inspectors are out there alone plenty enough already.  We're always amazed that so-called professional associations keep letting good, hard-working inspectors take hits from bullies and never help.  What's wrong with that picture?    I'm not looking for trouble, but I'm not running from it either.  We're proud of all you inspectors who saddle up and head out solo no matter what the weather, and do a fine job.  We all know a few will drag themselves home each year after falling off a ladder or having a close encounter of the fourth kind in a crawl all by themselves.  We've got your back.
