    In reality this bill is an open invitation to every scam artist and fraudster from around the nation. It's an open invitation to rip off owners living in Florida's community associations. This bill removes as well the possibility of punishing the "bad guys." It will create lots of jobs for scam artists especially targeting our elderly, telling them: "Come to Florida. Let's get to work!"

  3. I got as far as the SUMMARY analysis this morning before breakfast, and didn't complete it. I can't imagine what the DETAILED analysis is like. My dad (a staunch Republican) would probably have liked a lot of this: "get rid of Government controlling every aspect of your life, with the attendant taxes, lawyers, etc." I agree until I think about how innocent people could be victimized. Me, oh my, what a mess! If "love they neighbor" were what we all automatically did, we wouldn't need all these rules. (I guess we'd still need a few to cover harm that could be done through ignorance.)

    Thanks for keeping us informed (I think!).

  4. This was written by Lawyers for Lawyers. Lawyers are having a slow period and after this passes ,litigation will go through the roof. Everyone will be suing for lack of performance or fraud and push liability Insurance even higher. Hey!! We elected a Governor who defrauded Medicare of Billions ,what more could we ask for.

  5. I should have said Floridians elected a Governor whose Company defrauded Medicare of Billions while he was a director. He himself didn't defraud the Government. Must watch what and how we say things,now that we are about to enter the new era of unbridaled litigation in Fl..
