<p>I'm not seeing a new revised bill red-line yet, but I did once
see a property where it would be appropriate to have the question
in the environmental section. The listing described "some water
damage" but when you opened the door you saw all the carpet was
removed, water spots all over the subfloor, corner sheet rock
flashing rusting and the urine smell would have knocked you over!
But I have a hard time seeing that most the rest of that would be
environmental--e.g. chewing on wires.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">So it looks like the proposed amendment to
disclosures is now limited to addition of a single question to
the “Environmental” Section:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>[ ] Yes[ ] No[ ] Don't know *L. Is there
any damage to the property from animals, including urine,
feces, or other waste; chewing on wires or siding of main
structure; or digging?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And all changes to the liability standards
have been removed. Does that sound right?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would note that because this question is
in the “Environmental” section, per

Listmates, during its executive session this morning the
House Consumer Protection and Business Committee adopted
a substitute bill for the above legislation and reported
it out of the committee “do pass” on a 4-3 vote. The
substitute bill removes the deletion of the “don’t know”
option for answering and indicates that sellers are not
responsible for the answers, and allows answers based on
the seller’s knowledge. I attach a summary prepared by
the committee. Yours truly, Doug Owens<o:p></o:p></span></p>
