pushed the anti-Miranda bill and likely did not appreciate the Bar's
opposition. I agree with him that this should not devolve into a forum to
wax philosophical about whether you agree or disagree with the
legislation. However, the Florida Bar, through all its committees, get
involved in many important issues affecting lawyers and their clients.
That likely won't change in the future, so all of you who would like to be heard
on any piece of future, potentially sensitive issues should contact Reese
Henderson and ask to serve on the legislative committee. Regardless
of whether you personally believe the Bar should be active in Tallahassee,
it nevertheless is and always has been. We invite any of you who
would like to be part of the process to join us. </FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

<DIV align=left dir=ltr><SPAN class=479354516-12032012><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>I thought Sanjay's report on the case-law history of common
law implied warranty today was timely, excellent and accurate. And please,
I am not trying to generate a discussion or responses with my following
comment. However, in response to Mr. Pickert's initial question
below, while I appreciate the fact that there exists a process,
unfortunately -- apart from resolving technical legal issues, which I think
Bar can encourage or provide recommendations -- I do not believe that it is
appropriate for the section (by way of either
legislative committee or otherwise as a section) to put itself in
the position of picking "winners" and "loosers" or taking "sides" on very
important and legitimate policy issues in the Legislature, particularly
those where construction law interests and practice perspectives differ on
evolving areas of the law. Keith Hetrick</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">There were two bills
in which we were actively involved this legislative session - the construction
lien bill (HB 897) and the construction warranties bill (formerly SB 1196, which
was laid on the table in favor of the House version - HB 1013). We
supported to former and opposed the latter. Both bills passed the
legislature last week and are headed for the Governor's desk. Copies of
both bills are attached.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

achievements in the construction lien bill include: (1) elimination of the
conflict between the various statute of limitations provisions governing actions
on payment bonds (see lines 77-91 of HB 897); (2) elimination of language added
last year that clouds the issue of when a notice of commencement expires (see
lines 396-397). Also, the AGC inserted a provision in the bill which now
requires the state, any county or any municipality to (a) open sealed bids in a
competition solicitation at a public meeting conducted per 286.066, F.S.; (b)
announce at the meeting the name of each bidder and the price submitted; and (c)
make available upon request the name of each bidder and the price
submitted.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
