B. In addition to the powers and duties granted to the board pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Home Inspector Licensing Act, the board may adopt rules that establish the minimum terms and conditions of coverage, including limits of coverage and permitted exceptions. If adopted by the board, the rules shall require every applicant for a license and licensee who applies for renewal of a license to provide the board with satisfactory evidence that the applicant or licensee has errors and omissions insurance coverage and professional liability insurance coverage that meet the minimum terms and conditions required by board rule.

C. The board is authorized to solicit sealed, competitive proposals from insurance carriers to provide a group errors and omissions insurance policy and a professional liability insurance policy that comply with the terms and conditions established by board rule. The board may approve one or more policies that comply with the board rules.

Licensees may satisfy any requirement for errors and omissions insurance coverage and professional liability insurance coverage by purchasing an individual policy that is consistent with standards established by the board.
