Florida Governor Crist signed into law regulations for the mold and home inspector professions.  These are two different professions with separate licenses, insurance and experience requirements.

One of the most significant changes in the mold law that protects consumers is:

 

 (1) A mold assessor shall maintain general liability and errors and omissions for both preliminary and post remediation  mold assessment insurance coverage in an amount of at least $1 million.

Some believe this requirement will eliminate many home inspectors who will not qualify for a mold license.
