<p class=MsoNormal>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…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I will be meeting with representatives next week to work out
language that will protect our rights.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are not out of the woods yet – but we can see the
edge of the forest….<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Have a blessed weekend – I know I will sleep better.<o:p></o:p></p>
