<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>Pete and Martha,</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>Representative Moraitis has agreed to sponsor the ICPC’s Construction Lien and Bond legislation for the upcoming Session and has asked Bruce and I to make sure to get a copy to you for the Construction Law Committee’s review. Attached is the bill and a section-by-section summary of what it does. </div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>For the most part, this bill is a very scaled down version of the much larger bill we have been working on for the last several years. We have jettisoned the consumer provisions that were in our bill because frankly we have been unable to convince the residential contractors that better consumer education would be beneficial and have decided to just try to get these clean up issues taken care of. </div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>We have added one new issue to the bill – language in both 255.05 and 713.23 to insure that bonds do not have limited duration. This is to address a recent appellate court decision in Utah which upheld the effectiveness of a bond that terminated prior to completion of the project. In that case the claimants were left completely unprotected. We have never had this issue in Florida and want to make sure that the problem does not proliferate.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>We certainly welcome any comments or recommendations from the Bar, and would also appreciate a heads up on any legislation you may be working on this upcoming year. We have seen several proposals that have been working their way through the bar committee process, some of which we do have concerns about.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>Sincerely,</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
