In Oklahoma; the State has state licensed building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical Inspectors (state tested). They also accept ICC Certifications for State license requirements.
What I'm experiencing is; State licensed inspectors (with no ICC certifications) don't seem to be interested in obtaining certifications; and in many cases, are not very familiar with the adopted codes. They attend the state's 6 hour required CEU class each year; and seem to have little interest in keeping up with the codes.
Oklahoma has approximately 16 State Board Field Inspectors/Investigators, with territories. I looked for ICC certs on the ICC website and none of them showed up with any certifications.
If your State has State licensed Inspector's; are any of you having the same experience?
How about the possibillity that State Licensing will reduce the number of ICC Certified Inspectors (not needed unless you intend to move out of state some day). Here, State licensing is easier, costs less, and less CEUs to keep your license.
