            August Meeting Minutes and Agenda attached

IMPORTANT COMMENTS ON THE ATTACHED STATUTORY REVISIONS:

We have a short but important agenda.  Attached is the supporting documentation for the joint proposed bill from the Landlord/Tenant Committee & Construction Law Committee (CLC) regarding changes to 713.10.

1.    Proposed bills revising Section 713.10, and 713.13 (to be sent separately);
2.    White Paper describing the proposed legislation, and
3.    Legislative Position Request Form

Art Menor will discuss the revisions to 713.10 and 713.10.   The CLC has approved this version after several months of negotiation.  This final proposal reflects comments received from many of you as well as comments from other Section committees, including Title Insurance and Mortgage.   Art has worked tirelessly on behalf of our Committee negotiating with the contractor/lienor constituency of the CLC to reach a compromise that retains the important protections against the attachment of tenant-contractor liens to landlord's fee interest originally established by 713.10, but which were severely eroded by the Everglades Electric case.

We will vote to approve this final proposal so that it can be submitted to the Real Property Division/Executive Council for approval on Saturday 9/22.

As always, we appreciate your participation.

Neil Shoter, Committee Chair
