SB 1778 by Senator Jay Collins ( R – Tampa ) HB 1563 by Representative Michael Grant ( R – Port Charlotte )
Final Action : Died in Senate Rules Committee
Although you frequently hear about priority legislation that the FHBA advocacy team works to pass , FHBA also works tirelessly to protect the industry from harmful legislation .
After intense work from the team as well as more than 300 personal emails sent from FHBA members to their Senator , we are pleased to report that this disastrous bill DID NOT pass .
While FHBA stands in support of fighting construction fraud , we urge our legislators to enact legislation that will go after the bad actors without simultaneously punishing honest contractors and subcontractors engaging in reputable business practices .
