Group, I just returned from Tallahassee  and met with the Government
Appropriations Committee regarding House Bill  713 - Home Inspections and
Mold Related Services. All went well. The  committee listened to our
concerns and were not aware of the potential  problems the language of
the bill created and failed to fix. They mentioned  getting your e-mails
and phone calls - give yourself a round of  applause...



They passed the bill so that it can go on the next  step, council
meeting. It is at this meeting that the ability exists to  change the
language of the bill - and they want our changes  considered.



I will be meeting with representatives next week to  work out language
that will protect our rights.



We are not  out of the woods yet - but we can see the edge of  the
forest....



Have a blessed weekend - I know I will sleep  better.

Also, one other quick note on this. If the  legislature circumvents the  
authority of the Florida Building  Commission and removes the IRC fire  
sprinkler requirement, ISO will  drop all building departments one  
BCEGS class. So, if your  jurisdiction is a 4, it will drop to a 5 if  
everything else remains  the same. Something else to look forward to  
for us and higher  insurance rates for our citzens courtesy of the   
legislature.
