An update to a couple of recent posts about the Homeowner’s Bill of Rights. You can find the previous posts here and here.
First, a reliable source emailed me this afternoon to tell me Senate leadership has made it clear that they are not holding up a vote on the bill.
And now Andrew at NPI reports that the Senate is going to consider the bill tonight.
So there you have it.
UPDATE, the next morning: There was a flurry of activity in the Senate last night, but SB 5895 didn’t come up for a vote best I can tell. I had TVW on in the background last night and the Senate Floor Activity calendar doesn’t show that it came up yet. I think they’re coming back at 9 AM.
Builders might not like a homeowners’ bill of rights. Therefore, it is unwise and impossible to do it.
@2 Builders want a homeowners bill of rights like they have in Texas (and several other Republican states) where homebuyer complaints are arbitrated by a kangaroo court of builders and people who buy defective homes have to either wait until the builder feels like fixing it or pay for the repairs themselves. I would never, ever, ever, buy a new home in Texas or any other state with a law like theirs.
