FHBA News: Legislative/Government Affairs  

"Call to Action"

Help urge the Florida Senate to reject HB1563 "Construction Contracting." As we approach the final days of session, swift action is needed on this important issue. While, FHBA believes in the need to penalize bad actors committing construction fraud in our state, this proposal will enforce rules that will have a far more detrimental effect on contractors who have done nothing wrong. Click link below to have your voice heard.
