John,
You noted that you see both sides, and if contractors are telling you they they don't know the laws, I can't believe additional hours will be the cure, that dog will just not hunt, no mater how many hours are added, but don't beat all the dog's.
No one will argue with additional instruction, however, vendors pitching a product in the name of education, should not fly. When I speak of for profit instruction, I am refering to all the mail pitches for CEU credits. An industry just grew overnight or was it overnight that it grew.
John, I am all for quality education, and would be the first to defend it, I also respect your views, on this issue, your exposure to both sides makes your opinion valuable.
What may be a better approach to the hours requirement, would be to add courses that are needed to better enable the contractor to excell in his area of need, it appears the law section is one such area, and i am sure that all the active inspectors know all the areas that need improvement.
I sure hope we have an inspector on the board
to make suggestions, for CEU hours. If not there should be.
You give a man the tools and a plan, he will build.
